Django - Variable is not getting send with POST request
Hey im using for my django project typescript to get a specific section from a text to my view but it somehow doesnt work and I dont really know why.
Here is my template in which I want the "currentgap" sent to my view after clicking on the submit button. The getSelectionText() method just sets the id 'gap' to a specific string:
<form action="editorgapcreate" id=create method="POST">
<script src="../static/textselector.js"></script>
<div id="app" onmouseup="getSelectionText()">
This is a test section.
</div>
{% csrf_token %}
<b>Your current selected gap:</b>
<p id="currentgap"></p>
<input type="hidden" name="gap" id="currentgap">
<button type="submit" name="create_gap">Create gap</button>
</form>
and here is my view in which I tried calling it:
def editorstart(request):
if request.method == 'POST':
gap = request.POST['gap']
print(gap)
return render(request, 'editor_start.html')
else:
return render(request, 'editor_start.html')
The first time using currentgap in my template it displays it correctly but trying to send it to my view with a POST request doesnt work and the print is empty and I dont really know why.
EDIT:
My textselector.js:
function getSelectionText() {
var text = "";
if (window.getSelection) {
text = window.getSelection().toString();
}
else if (document.selection && document.selection.type != "Control") {
text = document.selection.createRange().text;
}
document.getElementById('currentgap').innerHTML = text;
return text;
}

I'm no django expert but looks like you need to add your variable to the context.

and btw, you can’t have the same value for the id attribute for more than one element in an html page.

As others have pointed out, you have to use unique ids and then adddocument.getElementById('currentgap').value = text;to your js. This adds value to input.
