How would I call on the following multiple submit forms --
<form action="/" method="post">
{% csrf_token %}
<input type="text" name="{{ email.id }}" value=" {{email}}"></td>
<td><input type="submit" value="Edit"></td>
<td><input type="submit" value="Delete"></td>
</tr>
</form>
I want to do something like this --
if value = edit:
do this
if value = delete:
do this
How would I code this in the views.py file?
Give the input types a name and look for them in your request.POST dictionary.
E.g.:
<form action="/" method="post">
{% csrf_token %}
<input type="text" name="{{ email.id }}" value=" {{email}}"></td>
<td><input type="submit" value="Edit" name="_edit"></td>
<td><input type="submit" value="Delete" name="_delete"></td>
</tr>
and in views.py something like
if request.POST:
if '_edit' in request.POST:
do_edit()
elif '_delete' in request.POST:
do_delete()
EDIT: Changed d.has_key(k) to k in d per Daniel's comment. has_key is deprecated in python 3.0 and the in style is preferred as its more generic -- specifically d.has_key(k) fails if d isn't a dictionary, but k in d works for any d that's an iterable (e.g., dict, string, tuple, list, set).
