Need Drop down menu code
Hello, I have a table Technology: id technology What is the code to place in view.py to create a drop down menu on the index.html page, so a user can select a value from the technology list. How do I write the drop down menu on the index page to then retrieve the value from the drop down menu. This question seems like it should be a typical example in a tutorial, but I cannot locate a straightforward example of how to do this. I am new to python and django, so am taking baby steps forward.

What you'd want to do is generate the markup (i.e., a list within tags or something similar) with Django and then use some sort of CSS (the Suckerfish Dropdowns at http://www.alistapart.com/articles/dropdowns/ are rather popular) to turn that into dropdowns. Hope that helps! -Justin --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.

Re: Need Drop down menu code
Hello Justin, This seems very complicated for a drop down menu. Will my travels through Django be this complex? I'm coming from a php environment and have been very impressed by Django admin page and inheritance of base.html, but now that I'm trying to write my own views and templates I'm hitting brick walls on the learning curve. Is there anyway to see the drop down menu code on the admin page or is it dynamically created on the fly? The django tutorials seem very limiting when it comes to the application of creating the web page (views and templates). Sorry, I'm asking so many questions, but I have to decide in the next few weeks whether to continue pursuing Django or stay with PHP.
