Question

I use JQuery Datepicker and cannot get data from it.
In .html:

<p>Date: <input type="text" id="datepicker"/>&nbsp;</p>

In models.py:

class RecordModel(models.Model):
    ...
    Date = models.DateField(blank = False)
    ...

In forms.py:

class RecordForm(forms.ModelForm):
    ...
    #There is no Date field
    ...

In views.py:

def doc(request, DocName):
    S = request.POST.get("Date") # error

Value of S in doc() function in views.py is “” (empty string), even if I choose date in a widget. How to get real data?

Answer 1

You need a name attribute to submit data.

You are looking for a POST data keyed by Date but I don’t see a name=Date anywhere.

It should be:

<input type="text" id="datepicker" name="Date"/>&nbsp;</p>
