HTML select options from python list
#2
(Oct-20-2016, 12:07 AM)adi.6194 Wrote: I want to create an HTML select dropdown where the options are taken from a python list. Is this possible??
import cgitb
cgitb.enable()

import cgi
form = cgi.FieldStorage()
lister = ['a','b','c']

html_list = ''
for value in lister:
   html_list += '<option value={0}>{0}</option>'.format(value)

html = """Content-type: text/html\n

<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
<select>
   {OPTIONS}
</select>
</body>
</html>
""".format(
       OPTIONS=html_list,
       )
print(html)
and of course instead of +=, you can append the option string to a list, and then join them at the end.
