Using the django template, how can I do this? (It doesn\'t seem like cy

Answer 1

You need to build something like this

{% for r in result %}
 
{% endfor %}


  
header1
  
header2
  
header3
  
header4

  
 {{ result.name }}
  
 {{ result.address }}
  
 {{ result.time }}
  
 {{ result.date }}

provided that you have an array (actually, a dictionary) this way

result['name']
result['address']
result['time']
result['date']
return render_to_response("my_template.html", {'result:result'})

There are a number of do this. This is the most straightforward ways. Look at Django template tag documentation.

Here is a list of techniques I learned throughout. There are more, but I don't have time to document all of them. http://binarybugs01.appspot.com/entry/template-iteration-techniques

Sometimes you have to be careful with the context dictionary you are passing to the template. If you are passing this

result = {'name': 'John', 'time': '12/2/2012'....etc}
context['result'] = result
return render_to_response("my_template.html", context}

You are iterating over result.result and the keys are result.result.name

I also want to remind you that you either have a list, a set, a dictionary, or a tuple.You can import array and use it, however.
