Re: Multiple elements with one element?

[Jeff Regan]

You might look into using jQuery to get the results and then post the
results (also using jQuery) to some url.

This approach doesn't really fit the Django pattern, but it should work.

Multiple elements with one element?

[Gchorn]

Hi All,

I'm trying to create a form on a web page where the user can select choices 
from multiple drop-down lists ( HTML elements) and then submit them 
all at once with a single submit button.  Is this possible?

I don't want to use a single  element with the "multiple" attribute 
because the list of options may be quite long, and I find it quite clunky 
for the user to have to hold ctrl/command/shift down while clicking on 
multiple options in such a long list (it's easy to accidentally release one 
of the keys and have to start over, etc.).

I've also used this  for 
something similar in the past, but I want to limit the number of selected 
options to only four at once (which is another reason I also don't want to 
use  with "multiple").

So does anyone know how I could make something like the following work, 
both in terms of HTML and views.py (and without JS)? 


  
one
two
buckle
shoe
  
  
three
four
shut
door
  
  


I'm guessing that in views.py it would be something like 
request.GET.getlist('q'), but as far as I know you're supposed to give each 
 element a different name, right?

thanks,
Guillaume
