python - How would I make my page choose between getting data from a drop-down menu or a text-field? -
thanks yesterday stackoverflow, i've made progress in code. have question, concerning page. here code
#!/usr/bin/python print 'content-type: text/html\n' print #may 17 import cgi, cgitb cgitb.enable() form=cgi.fieldstorage() #may19 dataset1=open('book1.csv','r') dataset2=open('race demographic state.txt','r') sources='''<hr><h4>sources!</h4><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/demographics_of_the_united_states">race demographics</a> <a href="http://voices.yahoo.com/average-sat-scores-state-2010-7702520.html?cat=4">sat scores</a> <a href="http://lisa.stuy.edu/~keiran.carpen/briansdirectory/sat scores state.txt">sat scores txt file</a> <a href="http://lisa.stuy.edu/~keiran.carpen/briansdirectory/race demographic state.txt">race demographics txt file</a></body></html>''' def datasplitter(x): data = x.read() return data.split("\n") def datdatamang(x): data = datasplitter(x) index = 0 whilenumber = 0 while index < len(data): whilenumber = 0 string = data[index] string.split(" ") x='' while whilenumber < len(string): if string[whilenumber] == ',': x=x+'</td><td>' else: x=x+string[whilenumber] whilenumber+= 1 ' '.join(string) data[index]='<tr><td>'+x+'</td></tr>' index+=1 result=' '.join(data) result='''<table border='1'>'''+result+'</table>' return result #may 19 def getdescription(): page = '' state = '' #may20 if 'drop' in form: if form['drop'].value =="description": page+= 'ever since conception, sat examinations have been controversial.many individuals believe race intellectually superior, , sat scores reflect on superiority. job find correlation between scores , race , end battle among races!' if form['drop'].value=="high sat scores": page+= datdatamang(dataset1) if form['drop'].value=="race demographics": page+= datdatamang(dataset2) if form['drop'].value=="source": page+= sources else: return page #may 21 def getstate(): table='' if 'on' in form: state+= form['on'].value if state in dataset1: state.header=dataset1.index(state) n in dataset1[state.header]: table+='''<tr>'''+n+'''</tr>''' return '''<td>'''+table+'''</td>''' def getracebystate(): if 'on' in form: state+= form['on'].value if state in dataset2: state.header=dataset2.index(state) n in dataset2[state.header]: table+='''<tr>'''+n+'''</tr>''' return '''<td>'''+table+'''</td>''' #may 20 print '''<html><title>sat analysis</title>''' print '''<body>''' print getdescription() print '''</body></html>''' #may 17 - writing analysisv2.html file , starting code #may 19 - tables, , #may 20 - writing if statements drop-down menu, building page. #may 21 - working on text fields , getstate essentially, page works have drop-down menu choose (choosing 1 of these values: e.g. "high sat scores" , "race demographics" causes python code generate page tables, or descriptions concerning drop-down menu option), or text field (which searches state in csv files, , returns table-row data particular state). using cgi.fieldstorage() python collects value submitted through html form. however, how write code send value text-field only, through html form.
i.e. if not want use drop-down menu, , instead want use text-field find state in particular , not submit form data through drop-down menu, how do that?
i not sure whether missing here but, assuming 'on' name of text field, can check see whether text field empty so:
if 'on' in form , form['on']: dosomethingwithon() else: dosomethingwithdrop()
