Question

Im trying to write a function for getting form values and their label so I can have them in a email body like this:

<p><strong>Labelvalue</strong>: formvalue</p>

Is that possible?

When I do “body = smart_unicode(form.cleaned_data)” I get the dict, but Im not sure what I could do to get the html like I want.

forms.py

class MyForm(forms.Form):
    TYPE_CHOICES = (
        (ADULT, 'Adult'),
        (CHILD, 'Child'),
    )
    type = forms.ChoiceField(widget=RadioSelect, choices=TYPE_CHOICES, label='Adult or child')
    name = forms.CharField(label='Name')
    birthdate = forms.DateField(widget=SelectDateWidget(years=range(2012,1900,-1)), label='Birthdate')
    address = forms.CharField(label='Address')
    email = forms.EmailField(label='Email')

Views.py

def show_myform(request):
    if request.method == 'POST':

        form = MyForm(request.POST)

        if form.is_valid():
            subject = "Testsubject"

            sender = form.cleaned_data['email']

            recipients = ['[e-mail]']

            body = smart_unicode(form.cleaned_data)

            msg = EmailMessage(subject, body, sender, recipients)
            msg.send()            
            return HttpResponseRedirect('/thanks/')


    else:
        form = MyForm()

    return render(request, 'form/myform.html', {
        'form': form,
    })

You could tray to render the html you need into the body variable. You also need a html template for your mail body:

from django.template.loader import render_to_string
body = render_to_string('yourapp/mail_template.html', {'var1':var1, 'var2':var2})

You can pass whatever you need to your template context dictionary (here i used var1 and var2 for example). Then send mail like this:

msg = EmailMessage(subject, body, sender, recipients)
msg.send()

Hope this leads into the right direction.
