Distinguish which link-button clicked in django-CodePudding

I have that html code:

<form id="my-form" method="POST" action="{% url 'my_view' %}">
  {% csrf_token %}
  <div class="row">
    <div class="col-md-6">
      <div class="md-form mb-1">
        <textarea id="message" name="message" rows="2" class="form-control md-textarea"></textarea>
      </div>
    </div>
    <div class="col-md-6">
      <div class="md-form mb-1">
        <textarea id="message_then" name="message_then" rows="2" class="form-control md-textarea"></textarea>
      </div>
    </div>
  </div>

<div class="text-center text-md-left">
  <a class="btn btn-primary" onclick="document.getElementById('my-form').submit();" style="width: 78px;" name="name1">Click1</a>
</div>
<div class="text-center text-md-left">
  <a class="btn btn-primary" onclick="document.getElementById('my-form').submit();" style="width: 78px;" name="name2">Click2</a>
</div>

</form>

Now I would like to get to know which "button" was clicked. Unfortunately request.POST doesn't have that information.

CodePudding user response：

You should add another field to specify which button has been clicked.

Exp: Add this to your form then update your "a" elements onclick event code like this:

<a class="btn btn-primary" onclick="update_form(this)" style="width: 78px;">Click1</a>

And finally some js code to update the form

<script>
 function update_form(button){
     document.getElementById("id_button").value = document.getElementById(button).innerText;
     document.getElementById('my-form').submit();
 }
</script>

In your django view use this to get the selected button: request.POST['id_button']
