If we selected the drop-down list value in Django and submit the form then this value will be reset.
if we want to display the selected value on dropdownlist then we use the following code.
1) Code for views.py
def search(request):
if request.method=="POST":
result = Register.objects.filter(fullname=request.POST['fname'])
res = Register.objects.all()
return render(request,"frontdesk/search.html",{'data':res,'data1':result,'fd':request.POST['fname']})
res = Register.objects.all()
return render(request,"frontdesk/search.html",{'data':res})
2) code for HTML web page for designing
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title></title>
</head>
<body>
<form action="" method="post">
{% csrf_token %}
<select name="fname">
<option value="Select name">Select name</option>
{% for d in data %}
{% if d.fullname == fd %}
<option value="{{d.fullname}}" selected="selected">{{d.fullname}}</option>
{% else %}
<option value="{{d.fullname}}" >{{d.fullname}}</option>
{% endif %}
{% endfor %}
</select>
<br><br>
<input type="submit" name="btnsubmit" value="Submit" />
</form>
<table><tr><th>Email</th><th>Fullname</th><th>Mobile</th></tr>
{% for d1 in data1 %}
<tr><td>{{d1.emailid}}</td><td>{{d1.fullname}}</td><td>{{d1.mobile}}</td></tr>
{% endfor %}
</table>
</body>
</html>
Another approach to display selected element on the dropdownlist:-
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title></title>
</head>
<body>
<form action="" method="post">
{% csrf_token %}
<select name="fname">
<option value="Select name">Select name</option>
{% for d in data %}
<option value="{{d.fullname}}" {% if d.fullname == fd %} selected="selected" {% endif %} >{{d.fullname}}</option>
{% endfor %}
</select>
<br><br>
<input type="submit" name="btnsubmit" value="Submit" />
</form>
<table><tr><th>Email</th><th>Fullname</th><th>Mobile</th></tr>
{% for d1 in data1 %}
<tr><td>{{d1.emailid}}</td><td>{{d1.fullname}}</td><td>{{d1.mobile}}</td></tr>
{% endfor %}
</table>
</body>
</html>
