Re: Checking if a dynamicallygenerated dropdown has a selected item

Hi all,

I am not using django forms for this. I did think along the lines of doing the following:
- implement the Question form, override __init__ in the model to return answers for that question,
- instantiate a form for each question, set model=whatever_model_in_current_loop and append it to a list,
- in the template, render them out

... but ...

How wuld I then access the forms collection in my view, say, from request.POST?

I think I may be trying to reinvent a wheel here.

Are you using django forms?

Should be pretty straightforward once you have the input nicely formatted to just count the number of fields that have been filled in.

Maybe I don't really understand the question but I think if you want
to check if the user has answered 3 questions, check from the keys in
request.GET or request.POST as the case may be.
