I'd recommend passing it explicitly in your template context - this
allows you to set a default value and to validate the parameter's
value, which means your template knows exactly which values it will
have to work with::
from django.shortcuts import render_to_response
from django.template import RequestContext
def your_view(request):
display = request.GET.get('display', 'list')
if display not in ['list', 'cloud']:
display = 'list'
return render_to_response('some_template.html', {
'display': display,
}, context_instance=RequestContext(request))
