yeah i'm looking at that but it doesn't make sense to me..... here's a
snip
of my template, the forms.py file and the views.py file. Here are my
questions:
1. the form doesn't show up on the template... what am I missing here
to
get my form to show up?
2. how in the world do I tell the system that the form on the
template
should submit and use the process_upslookup view?
-lost
*template.html* (snip)
<form method="post" action=".">
{{ form }}
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Get
Estimate*">
</form>
*forms.py*
from django import newforms as forms
class form_upslookup(forms.Form):
zipcode=forms.CharField(max_length=15, required=True,
help_text='Please
enter your zipcode')
*views.py*
from forms import form_upslookup
def process_upslookup(request):
if request.method=='POST':
form = form_upslookup
query = request.POST.get('zipcode','')
if query:
results=query
else:
results="No Zipcode Entered"
return render_to_response ("UPSRateLookUp/upsratelookup.html",
{
"results": results,
"query": query
})
else:
form = form_upslookup()
return render_to_response ("UPSRateLookUp/upsratelookup.html")
