Thank you for the answers.
The link provided by George is an excellent resource and I should
thank him for that.
However my task is a bit simpler. Let's say I own a car company and I
have dealers in various cities. By clicking on each city name I get a
list of cars this city's dealer sells. This list varies from city to
city. Also, this list comes as a form where I (as the car company
owner) need to write the minimum and maximum selling price for each
car and submit it. It is a hypothetical scenario, but my project deals
with a very similar problem.
in this example is the django's form class approach "better" than the
"classic" one (i.e. the one where I use a {% for car in citycars %}
loop and attach a car.id and the dealer.id to each input field and
process accordingly in the view)?
I am new to django, so bear with me if I ask something trivial.
Thanks for your time,
Chris
