What I am trying to do is create a form that is automatically generated and then the values from that form are then used to proceed in the program. Currently to generate my form I am using this function
real_names=["Jason","Casandra"]
this portion of the code is not static it is generated with the names of the previous part of the form.
form = """
<h2>What fields do you want your employee's on?:</h2>
<dl>
"""
def form_creator(name):
print name
dt = "<dt>"
dt_1 = dt+name.title()+":"
dt_kill = "</dt>"
input_basic_1 = '''<input name="'''
input_basic_2 = """" size="1"> </input>"""
generated_input = dt_1+ input_basic_1 + name.lower() + input_basic_2+dt_kill
# flash(generated_input)
return generated_input
for i in real_names:
print ("\n\n"+i+"\n\n")
form += form_creator(i)
return render_template('assign_score_b.html',form=form)
The HTML code is
{% extends "assign.html" %}
{% block content %}
<form method="POST">
{{form|safe}}
</form>
{% endblock %}
Now after I generate the form and then get the varibles from the user I would like to process the form but I cannot seem to figure out how to get the values to be checked. What I was trying to do for the answers was
answers = []
for i in real_names:
testable_var = request.form[i]
try:
int(testable_var)
except:
flash("Please submit an number not a letter")
answers.append(testable_var)
but when I was trying to do this I got a error request. Using WTForms is NOT an option Your help will be very appreciated Thank you!
