I am trying to make a registration form for a dentist and a student, where I have a choice field for a dentist and a student. What I want to happen is, when dentist is picked, I should be able to see the specialties
field in the html as well as Django to pick that form, and for student, to pick student_email
and institution
. I am confused to how to write its code in the template and I looked almost everywhere and couldn't find anything that could help with what I want. I also included an image with what the registration image looks like. I know I can use select
and option
in html template but still a bit confused about them as well. If you could show me a better way to apply my idea, please let me know.

CodePudding user response:
You are using a CharField
(see docs) for a field that has options. Try using a ChoiceField
(see docs) instead.
Something like:
specialty = forms.ChoiceField(choices= Specialties, required=True)
CodePudding user response:
You should add both into your html, and make them hidden. Then add an alert into your Select, and OnChange you can make hidden=false of the selected form.
YOURSELECT.addEventListener("change", document.getElementById(YOURSELECT.value).removeAttribute("hidden"););
