if condition inside html

Question

I am new in django. Here I'm try to do a poll app using django . I want to display 'you entered correct'

if selected_choice='Yellow'

Here is my code

def results(request, question_id):
    question = get_object_or_404(Question, pk=question_id)
    try:
        selected_choice = question.choice_set.get(pk=request.POST['choice'])
    except (KeyError, Choice.DoesNotExist):
    # Redisplay the question voting form.
        return render(request, 'polls/detail.html', {
        'question': question,
        'error_message': "You didn't select a choice.",
    })
    else:

        selected_choice.votes += 1
        selected_choice.save()
        context_dict={}
        context_dict['selected_choice']=selected_choice
        context_dict['question']=question

        return render(request, 'polls/result.html', context_dict)

html file

<h1>{{ question.question_text }}</h1>
{% if selected_choice  %}
    {% if 'Yellow' %}

    <p> you entered correct </p>
    {% endif %}

{% endif %}


<ul>
{% for choice in question.choice_set.all %}
<li>{{ choice.choice_text }} -- {{ choice.votes }} vote{{     choice.votes|pluralize }}</li>
{% endfor %}
</ul>

Solution

If selected_choice is a string value:

The white-space before and after '==' is important; which is usually missed.

   {% if selected_choice == 'Yellow' %}
    <p> you entered correct </p>
   {% endif %}

You may also try:

   {% ifequal selected_choice 'Yellow' %} 
    <p> you entered correct </p>
   {% endifequal %}

the following if condition in html file did not work properly.

This if condition inside html is better called templates :)

Why did you split your if statement into two statements? Does {% if selected_choice == 'Yellow' %} solve the problem?

@rkatkam has the correct answer below - see the docs - docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.6/ref/templates/builtins/#operat‌​or

[rkatkam]

what is 'selected_choice'? Is it an object? I assume so because you calling save() method on it. Are you storing the value say 'Yellow' as one of its field? In such case you need to state that like {% if selected_choice.name == "Yellow" %}.
