I'm using something like this in my template
<select multiple="multiple" name="services" id="services" size="5">
{% for service in services %}
<option value="{{service.id}}">{{service}}</option>
{% endfor %}
</select>
When I view the POST data in Firebug or the Django debug, I see it only sends one value. Am I doing something wrong or misunderstanding a concept?
request.POST.getlist('services')
Just FYI, I had to use:
list = request.POST.getlist("items[]")
because omitting the [] caused a blank list to be returned instead of the correct values. I'm using jQuery to fetch the values of a multiple select element, and jQuery appears to be adding the []
you can get the expected list just by using...
request.POST.getlist('fiel_name')
Watch out! getlist method from QueryDict returns an empty list if the key doesn't exist. It does not throw an exception. http://bit.ly/MdgrUH
request.POST.getlist('services')
Worked for me. or you can define select box name as a list
