4,690 PointsButton won't check on the builder.
Button won't check on the builder. Not sure why. I checked my code against Kenneth's, and to my eyes they match. I also re-watched the video, and I do not believe that I missed any step. I will attach the two pieces of code in play. builder.html:
{% block content %}
<!--Build Area -->
<form action="{{url_for('save') }}" method="POST" class="wrap no-top">
<div class="grid-100 row">
<div class="grid-30">
<div class="title">
<input type="text" name="name" value="{{ saves.get('name', '') }}">
</div>
</div>
<div class="grid-70">
<div class="colors">
{% for color in options['colors'] %}
<input type="radio" id="{{ color }}" name="colors" value="{{ color }}"
{% if saves.get('color') == color %}checked{% endif %}>
<label for="{ color }"></label>
{% endfor %}
<button class="btn">Update</button>
</div>
</div>
<div id="bear" class="grid-100">
<div class="bear-body"><img src="/static/img/bear_body.svg" /></div>
<div class="head"><img src="/static/img/bear_face.svg" /></div>
<div class="nose"><img src="/static/img/bear_nose.svg" /></div>
</div>
<div class="items">
</div>
</div>
</form>
{% endblock %}
app.py:
import json
from flask import (Flask, render_template, redirect,
url_for, request, make_response)
from options import DEFAULTS
app = Flask(__name__)
def get_saved_data():
try:
data = json.loads(request.cookies.get('character'))
except TypeError:
data = {}
return data
@app.route('/')
def index():
data = get_saved_data()
return render_template('index.html', saves=get_saved_data())
@app.route('/builder')
def builder():
return render_template(
'builder.html',
saves=get_saved_data(),
options=DEFAULTS
)
@app.route('/save', methods=['POST'])
def save():
response = make_response(redirect(url_for('builder')))
data = get_saved_data()
data.update(dict(request.form.items()))
response.set_cookie('character', json.dumps(data))
return response
app.run(debug=True, port=8000, host='0.0.0.0')
everything else up to this point is functional. The update button even seems to work. Just can't get that button to check.

4,690 PointsI changed it to 'colors'. When I ran it in preview everything worked well, except it auto selected black and would not allow me to make a color choice.
