Re: Django selected value

Had a similar problem today, other than using django forms, ensure your select box is named, wen the selct box is named, the selected value witll have the name of the select box:
 example:
<select name='myoptions'>
    <option value='val1'> option 1 </option>
    <option value='val2'> option 2</option>
</select>

in django after posting the form:
you cant get the value by.
selected_opt = request.POST['myoptions']

How to get value/name of currently selected drop box item?

my models.py :

class Model2(models.Model):
    .............................................................................
    choice_field = models.ManyToManyField(to=Model1)
    ....................................................................................

class Model2Form(ModelForm):
    class Meta:
        model = Model2
        fields = ['choice_field']
    .............................................................................

my views.py:

def myfunc(request):
    form = Model2Form()
    if request.method == 'POST':
        form1 = Model2Form(request.POST)
        if form1.is_valid():
            form1.save()
        return ......................................................................................
    myquery = Model2.objects.values('choice_field').last()

In template.html when I try {{ myquery.choice_field }} - i get {'choice_field': 5}. How can I get a name of currently selected choice_field item and/or value of currently selected choice_field item?
