How to get the Jinja2 generated input value data?
flask, jinja2, python, web
Solution
Forms get confused when you use the same name for each input name. You could either create a separate form around each table cell with the first name or you can use the jinja2 loop index to create unique input names...
<input id="firstname{{ loop.index }}" name="firstname{{ loop.index }}" type="text" value='{{ user.FirstName }}' />
Hope this helps!
Problem
In my HTML file, I have: ``` <table> {% for user in user_data_html %} <tr> <td> <input id="firstname" name="firstname" type="text" value='{{ user.FirstName }}' /> </td> <td> <input name="submit" type="submit" value='update' /> </td> </tr> {% else %} <tr><td>no user found</td></tr> {% endfor %} </table> ``` I want to modify the user name in the webpage by clicking update button in each row. But I always get the first "firstname" using the following python code in the backend: ``` firstname = request.form['firstname'] ``` How can I solve this problem?
