Question

i have this simple html form:

<form action="test/" method="get" accept-charset="utf-8">

    <input type="text" name="first" value="" id="first">
    <input type="text" name="second" value="" id="second">
    <input type="text" name="third" value="" id="third">

    <p><input type="submit" value="Continue &rarr;"></p>
</form>

when user click submit button, i want to get friendly URL like this:

http://www.site.com/test/first/second/third

how can i do this?

Answer 1

Where the user ends up after filling out the form and clicking “Continue” depends on what you set the action attribute in your form tag to. You’ve currently set it to test/.

If you want them to end up at test/<first_val>/<second_val>/<third_val>/, then you can either use some JavaScript (per pythonFoo’s answer), or you can redirect in the view that test/ points to, using HttpResponseRedirect:

def test_view(request):
  return HttpResponseRedirect('/test/%s/%s/%s/' % request.POST['first'],
                                                  request.POST['second'],
                                                  request.POST['third])
