if str(value) == str_data:
' selected="selected"'
As I'm not a great developer some newbye mistake may exist in my template, but this thing was getting me crazy so I tried to verify the code looking for the error.

I posted this on Djangu Users, but Django Developers may be a better
place.
I have a model with the following (exerpt):
class Team(meta.Model):
name = meta.CharField(maxlength=200)
venue = meta.CharField(maxlength=200)
division = meta.ForeignKey(Division)
# snip snip snip
class Division(meta.Model):
name = meta.CharField(maxlength=40)
conference = meta.ForeignKey(Conference)
# snip snip snip
I am using the update_object generic view to present the update form
for an existing Team. It has {{ form.name }}, {{ form.venue }}, and {{
form.division }} in the form template. The view correctly creates a
"select" for the division, but the "selected" value is the first one
("---------") instead of the correct one already set (and validated in
the DB) for the team's division.
Is there some attribute/parameter I can add to {{ form.division }} to
make it correctly select the existing value? It seems this should be
the default, but I couldn't find a generic views example which
contained a SELECT (for a hard-coded set of choices or for a foreign
key situation). If one exists and I just didn't find it, I apologize.
Thanks for any light which can be shed.
H.B.
