Re: Tutorial Part 3: loading index.html in browser

Thank you Xavier and Sergiy for your responses. 

To clarify: I put the following code (see below) into my index.html file and got a page displaying the code (rather than a list) when I rendered it in my browser by my local server:

Could the problem have to do with my file system? I created a directory called 'templates' in the inner 'mysites' folder and created another directory within that called 'polls'. That's where I put the index.html file. And I also edited TEMPLATE_DIRS in my settings.py to tell Django the absolute path to index.html. 

Any more thoughts about this? Thank you!


<html>

<head><title>Test</title></head>


<body>

{% if latest_poll_list %}

    <ul>

    {% for poll in latest_poll_list %}

        <li><a href="/polls/{{ poll.id }}/">{{ poll.question }}</a></li>

    {% endfor %}

    </ul>

{% else %}

    <p>No polls are available.</p>

{% endif %}


</body>

</html>
