Hi!
Sorry it took a while - I had to get the info from work.
Renderer mode: Quirks mode
Cache source: Not cached
Encoding: UTF-8
The other stuff was blank.
My view is as follows:
========== SNIP ==========
from django.http import HttpResponse
from django.shortcuts import render_to_response
import urllib
def front(request):
sock =
urllib.urlopen("/home2/a12007/webapps/officeprofiler/profiler/templates/officechoice.html")
html = sock.read()
sock.close()
return HttpResponse(html)
def officereport(request):
selected_choice = request.POST['office']
sock =
urllib.urlopen("/home2/a12007/webapps/officeprofiler/profiler/"+selected_choice)
html = sock.read()
sock.close()
return HttpResponse(html)
========== SNIP ==========
So what thoughts are there out there amongst our experts?
Thanks heaps!
-Warren
