Django 1.8 handwritten form no POST data -
i've become frustrated problem i'm having. have large form that's hand-written (not using django's forms), , trying access data inputs in views (in case, inputs posting, others weren't).
leaving specifics of form aside since there many things @ play, in troubleshooting process wrote simplest form think of, , getting no post data besides csrf_token.
i have no idea why be, since similar (and more complex) works fine on several other django projects i'm running. example, tried action="" no avail. there incredibly obvious i'm missing?
here's html:
<!doctype html> <html> <head> </head> <body> <form method="post" id="theform" action="/simpleform/">{% csrf_token %} <input type="text" id="thetext" value="where i?" /> <input type="hidden" id="hiddeninput" value="i don't exist" /> <input type="submit" /> </form> </body> </html>here simple view checking data:
from django.shortcuts import render def simpleform(request): if (request.method == 'post'): print('in post') print(request.post) in request.post.keys(): print('key: {0} value: {1}'.format(i, request.post[i])) return render(request, 'simpleform.html') else: return render(request, 'simpleform.html')
you're missing 'name' attribute of tags in html form. without those, django not add them request.post
<form method="post" id="theform" action="/simpleform/">{% csrf_token %} <input type="text" id="thetext" name="mytext" value="where i?" /> <input type="hidden" id="hiddeninput" name="myhidden" value="i don't exist" /> <input type="submit" />
