Howdy Matt!
Here is a small, complete working sample. When you initially load the
page it just displays the choices and prompts you to select a value and
click submit. When you submit it, it redisplays the form and then
displays what choice you selected.
urls.py:
from django.conf.urls.defaults
Is it still giving the same error after adding the name? Or is it a
different error now?

For debugging, start by seeing what *is* in the POST dict that you get back
from the request. Super simple - just print it out and see what's in there.
That might give you a clue how it's interpreting it when it comes back...

Sorry, should have made it clear on my second post in response to
Massimiliano. He suggested this, and so I altered the code so it now
reads:
def ansQuestion(request):
q = get_object_or_404(Question)
answer = request.POST["answer"]

Don't you need to specify a name for the select element? If you're
trying to get the selection with the key "value", I think you need to do:

You need to tell the form what the "name" of the name value pair you're
using it. SInce you're trying to look it up in your code as post['answer']
(at least based on the error you posted), that should be the name that you
use in the HTML input tag .

Ok - sorry, could you (briefly) explain what you mean?

Where are you setting "answer" in the HTML form? It should be in there as a
name="" element entry of the select tag...

Dear Massimiliano,
Thanks for that; still doesn't work, I'm afraid.
The error is:
MultiValueDictKeyError at /mcq/ansQuestion/
"Key 'answer' not found in "
Request Method: GET
Request URL:http://localhost:8000/mcq/ansQuestion/
Exception Type: MultiValueDictKeyError

I think you need a name (and maybe ID) on your select box.

Dear All,
A newbie with Django, but seem to be doing with some basics so far, but
seem to be a bit stuck on getting the values from a Drop Down menu.
I have a method in my views.py file which starts:
def ansQuestion(request):
q = get_object_or_404(Question)
answer = request.POST['value'

Try:
A

and then read request.POST['letter']
