How to read input from html form to python script? [duplicate] - html

This question already has answers here:
Sending data from HTML form to a Python script in Flask
(2 answers)
Closed 2 years ago.
I am trying to send input from HTML form to python script using the CGI concept and flask concept. But unable to read the input.
Scenario:
1. We need to create an HTML Input form.
2. Read input from the form and send to python script.
I am attaching my code as well. If anybody finds the issue pls let me know.
Code Used:
import flask
from flask import Flask, render_template, request
app = Flask(__name__)
#app.route('/')
def index():
return render_template('index.html')
#app.route('/', methods=['POST'])
def getvalue():
Name = request.form['yourName']
EnterpriseId = request.form['enterpriseId']
Servers = request.form['server']
tes = "Hello"
print(tes)
return render_template('pass.html', n=Name, eId=EnterpriseId, sName=Servers)
if __name__ == '__main__':
app.run(debug=True)
I have used this Html Code:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">
<style>
* {
box-sizing: border-box;
}
input[type=text], select, textarea {

border: 1px solid #ccc;
border-radius: 4px;
resize: vertical;
}
label {
padding: 12px 12px 12px 0;
display: inline-block;
}
input[type=submit] {
background-color: #4CAF50;
color: white;
padding: 12px 20px;
border: none;
border-radius: 4px;
cursor: pointer;
float: right;
}
input[type=submit]:hover {
background-color: #45a049;
}
.container {
border-radius: 5px;
background-color: #f2f2f2;
padding: 20px;
}
.col-25 {
float: left;
width: 25%;
margin-top: 6px;
}
.col-75 {
float: left;
width: 75%;
margin-top: 6px;
}
/* Clear floats after the columns */
.row:after {
content: "";
display: table;
clear: both;
}
/* Responsive layout - when the screen is less than 600px wide, make the two columns stack on top of each other instead of next to each other */
#media screen and (max-width: 600px) {
.col-25, .col-75, input[type=submit] {
width: 100%;
margin-top: 0;
}
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<h2>Enter Your Inputs</h2>
<div class="container">
<form action="app.py" method="post">
<div class="row">
<div class="col-25">
<label for="name">Enter Your Name</label>
</div>
<div class="col-75">
<input type="text" id="name" name="yourName" placeholder="Your name..">
</div>
</div>
<div class="row">
<div class="col-25">

</div>
<div class="col-75">

</div>
<div class="row">

</div>
<div class="col-75">

</div>
</div>
<div class="row">
<input type="submit" value="Submit">
</div>
</form>
</div>
</body>
</html>

You can remove the second function and integrate the GET and POST requests in one method.
2 Change the form action to this <form action='/' method='POST'>

why is overflow overriding parent container width?

I have a media query that makes my container go to 90% width when the screen goes lower than 550px and when the password generator overflows it pushes the width to 500px instead of the 90%. How can i fix this? The overflow happens when I select one of the password options and set the length to 50.
Oof this website is hurting my eyes a bit,
Well it is because you are using flexbox on the body, to fix this try:
#import url("https://fonts.googleapis.com/css2?family=Poppins:wght#200;400;600&display=swap");
body,
html {
padding: 0;
margin: 0;

}

display: flex;
justify-content: center;
align-items: center;
height: 100vh;
}
h2 {
text-align: center;
font-size: 1.1em;
}
#generatorContainer {
width: 90%;
border: 2px solid white;
background-color: rgb(50, 64, 168);
padding: 0.5em;
}
#passwordContainer {
border-radius: 0.5em;
background-color: #3399ff;
overflow: auto;
}
.passwordFeaturesContainer {

justify-content: space-between;
margin: 0.5em 0;
}
#generatePasswordButton {
margin: 0 auto;
width: 80%;
display: block;
height: 60px;
}
#generatePasswordButton {
cursor: pointer;
background-color: rgb(50, 168, 52);
outline: none;
box-shadow: none;
color: rgb(50, 64, 168);
font-size: 1.2em;
font-weight: 700;

#media only screen and (min-width: 551px){

I've added a flex div around the generator and added a class for flex as well... Try to avoid much styling on standard generated elements like html, body, script etc etc.. And please try start styling at a mobile perspective (most web users are commonly mobile users), so instead of using media-queries with max-width, use min-width: 551px; In your case you eventually dont need a media-query instead. If you are just using max-width: 500px; on your #generatorContainer its enough.
Happy coding!!

CSS for different device sizes

I have a simple page that consists of a form. There is a string for what the input box should be, and then the input box.
I want two different behaviors. When a cell phone is accessing the page, I want everything to be stacked on top of each other, but when the page is accessed via a computer I want multiple rows consisting of the the title, followed by the input box on the same row.
I've researched media queries by I still don't understand it enough to get through.

You have multiple choice: using Bootstrap to easily display your grid in different ways on window resize.
You can also use media queries, combine with a grid layout like Flexbox or Grid.
Or even use Jquery and the windworesize function.
Personnaly, i would choose Flexbox and the flex-direction propriety when the window reach the size of a smartphone or tablet.
To write a media querie, you just have to type something like #media screen and (max-width: 640px) for instance and write your rules inside the curly brackets.
Here is a sample code.
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<style>
* {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
box-sizing: border-box;
}
html,
body {
height: 100%;

}

You need Media Query for this. Media query is basically writing different CSS for devices with different widths. You can learn more from here- https://www.w3schools.com/css/css3_mediaqueries_ex.asp
Also check out this article- https://css-tricks.com/snippets/css/media-queries-for-standard-devices/
You can also use jQuery for the same using matchmedia..
Here is a JSbin example for you- https://jsbin.com/kutacuzece/edit
(function($) {
/*
* We need to turn it into a function.
* To apply the changes both on document ready and when we resize the browser.
*/
function mediaSize() {
/* Set the matchMedia */
if (window.matchMedia('(min-width: 768px)').matches) {
/* Changes when we reach the min-width */
$('body').css('background', '#222');
$('strong').css('color', 'tomato');
} else {
/* Reset for CSS changes – Still need a better way to do this! */
$('body, strong').removeAttr('style');
}
};
/* Call the function */
mediaSize();
/* Attach the function to the resize event listener */
window.addEventListener('resize', mediaSize, false);
})(jQuery);
OR you can use something as simple as this-
if ($(window).width() < 960) {
$(selector).css({property:value, property:value, ...})
}
else if ($(window).width() < 768) {
$(selector).css({property:value, property:value, ...})
}
else {
$(selector).css({property:value, property:value, ...})
}

How to group an icon and an input element

I'm trying to achieve the following:
Create 3 input elements in a row
Each should have a logo to the left of it, centered perfectly.
Each should have a border-bottom that spans the logo as well.
Like the following image:
However with my current code the images can't be centered and the border doesn't span them. Here's my code:
input {
border: none;
width: 250px;
background-color: #393d49;
border-bottom: 1px solid #767D93;
padding: 10px;
}
form img {
width: 24px;
height: 24px;
}
<form>
<img src="assets/images/envelope.png" alt="Envelope icon indicating user's E-Mail.">
<input type="email" placeholder="E-Mail"><br>
<img src="assets/images/locked.png" alt="Lock icon indicating user's Password.">
<input type="password" placeholder="Password"><br>
<img src="assets/images/avatar.png" alt="Avatar icon indicating user's Name.">
<input type="text" placeholder="Username"><br>
</form>
As it was suggested, I would also use the font-awesome library. But if your not comfortable with that idea, here is how you can do without.
form, .form-row, input {
background-color: #051024;
}
.input-icon, label, input {
display: inline-block;
}
form {
padding: 0.8em 1.2em;
}
.form-row {
padding: 0.8em 0;
padding-bottom: 0.2em;
}
.form-row:not(:last-child) {
border-bottom: solid #18273a 1px; /* Only the last row has a border */
}
.input-icon {
width: 15px;
height: 15px;
margin: 0 10px;
}
label {
max-width:4em; /* Or the maximum width you want your lebel to be */
min-width:4em; /* Same */
color:white;
font-weight: 100;
}
input {
border:none;
padding: 0.8em 0.5em;
color: #6691c9;
font-size: 15px;
outline: none; /* No glowing borders on chrome */
}
<form>
<div class="form-row">
<!-- Put your image here, like so -->
<img class="input-icon" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-QTgDeozeWws/VLztRSNkMEI/AAAAAAAAKkQ/mrxdCfxWfvU/s1600/1f499.png" alt="oops"/>
<label for="form-email">Email</label>
<input id="form-email" type="email">
</div>
<div class="form-row">
<img class="input-icon" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-QTgDeozeWws/VLztRSNkMEI/AAAAAAAAKkQ/mrxdCfxWfvU/s1600/1f499.png" alt="oops"/>
<label for="form-password">Password</label>
<input id="form-password"type="password" placeholder="(8 characters min)">
</div>
<div class="form-row">
<img class="input-icon" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-QTgDeozeWws/VLztRSNkMEI/AAAAAAAAKkQ/mrxdCfxWfvU/s1600/1f499.png" alt="oops"/>
<label for="form-user">User</label>
<input id="form-user" type="text"><br>
</div>
</form>
If you're feeling adventurous
Try bootstrap, it has all you need to create cool web sites (it also includes the font-awesome library).

trying to get the output of a form to display on same line as <p> element html

I'm trying to get certain elements of this form to be displayed on the same line: I want the output of the form to be displayed on the same line as "Total: $ " - (I still want the price per lb ($1.00 in this example) to be displayed on the line above and the number spinner to be displayed to the right). I tried to wrap the whole thing in a <span> that I set the CSS of to be display:inline but it didn't work (& I've tried a few other things as well which also didn't work).
Here's a selection of my code:
HTML:
<div class="caption">
<form onsubmit="return false" oninput="amount.value = (quantity.valueAsNumber * (1))">
<legend>$1.00</legend>
<span class="quant"><p><label for="quant">QTY</label>
<input type="number" min="1" max="5" id="quantity" name="quantity"></p></span>
<span class="inline"><p>Total:$<output name="amount" for="quantity"></output></p></span>
</form>
</div>
CSS:
legend { float: left;
margin-top: 35px;
padding-top: 20px;
margin-bottom: 5px;
}
.inline { display: inline; }
.quant { text-align: right;
max-width: 30em;
float: right;
margin-top: 25px;
padding-bottom: 5px;
margin-bottom: 10px;
}
legend { float: left;
}
.inline { display: inline; }
.quant { text-align: right;
max-width: 30em;
float: right;
}
form > * { border:1px solid red; line-height:2em }
<div class="caption">
<form onsubmit="return false" oninput="amount.value = (quantity.valueAsNumber * (1))">
<legend>$1.00</legend>
<span class="quant">
<label for="quant">QTY</label>
<input type="number" min="1" max="5" id="quantity" name="quantity">
</span>
<span>Total:$<output name="amount" for="quantity"></output></span>
</form>
</div>
Get rid of your p tags. Try not to use dispensable containers and classes. Your code would be more readable. You can change the line-height value of form > *

How to code this form?

Im trying to get away from using the html TABLE tag, but cant figure out how to build, what I want it to look like. I have made a screenshot of me using the table tag,
How would I do this with divs or/and spans etc, and still retain the vertical alignment of the labels (firstname, lastname in this example)?
(font size and color etc is of course irrelevant here)
alt text http://img522.imageshack.us/img522/7857/forme.jpg
thankful for any input,
modano
It's good that you don't want to use the table tag for layout. The thing to keep in mind when switching is to try to make the HTML as semantical as possible. What this means might vary, since there are no real strict rules, but it could look something along these lines:
<form [..]>
<ul>
<li class="hasError">
<em class="feedback">error message here</em>
<div class="attribute">
<label for="firstName">First name:</label>
<em>(required)</em>
</div>
<div class="input">
<input type="text" name="firstName" id="firstName" />
<em class="description">optional description here</em>
</div>
<span class="clearBoth" />
</li>
<li>
<em class="feedback" />
<div class="attribute">
<label for="firstName">Last name:</label>
<em>(required)</em>
</div>
<div class="input">
<input type="text" name="lastName" id="firstName" />
<em class="description">optional description here</em>
</div>
<span class="clearBoth" />
</li>
</ul>
</form>
This achieves the following:
By placing the error feedback message above the divs, you can make an arbitrarily long error message without losing alignment
Each input element (and label) is kept in a single list item, thus grouping them logically. It also reads something like the following in a screen reader: "Form. List of two items. Label [...]". This gives the user a hint of that the form contains two inputs.
By adding the hasError class to a list item, you can easily target the descendant elements with CSS for error specific styling.
A sample CSS file could look something like (note that this is untested):
form li {
width: 300px;
}
form li.hasErrors {
width: 298px;
border: 1px red;
background-color: #C55;
}
form .attribute {
float: left;
clear: left;
width: 60px;
}
form .input {
float: right;
clear: none;
width: 240px;
}
form .feedback {
display: block;
padding-left: 50px;
color: red;
}
form .description {
display: block;
clear: both;
color: #888;
}
.clearBoth { display: block; clear: both; }
A very very good tutorial on creating accessible HTML/CSS forms can be found on A list Apart: Prettier Accessible Forms
Generally a fantastic site for information on how to create good, clean and accessible websites.
Simply give your labels a specific width; this will ensure your fields line up. You can also float your labels and inputs to easily break them into rows. Here's a minimal example:
<style type="text/css">
form { overflow: auto; position: relative; }
input { float: left; }
label { clear: left; float: left; width: 10em; }
</style>
<form>
<label>Field 1</label><input/>
<label>Field 2</label><input/>
<label>Field 3</label><input/>
</form>
I am no CSS expert, but this should get you started. Of course the styles should be in an external style sheet.
