I am currently using a page that has a list of in-line forms
However when the user enters submits each form (line) they are sent back to the top of the page. This becomes really tedious as the users need to enter data quickly and can't when they need to scroll for 2 minutes every time they add an entry.
Does anyone know how to implement a scroll lock to stock this from happening
Views.py: Function:
class AvonleaView( View):
def get(self,request):
created_nums= AvonleaClass.objects.all().values('unitNumber')
Aprev = AvonleaClass.objects.all().order_by('-unitDateEntered')
# created_nums= AvonleaClass.objects.all()
print(created_nums )
created_nums =[int(i['unitNumber']) for i in created_nums]
print(created_nums )
form = AvonleaForm()
return render(request,"meter_readings/avonlea.html",{'form':form , 'created_nums':created_nums })
def post(self,request):
created_nums= AvonleaClass.objects.all().values_list('unitNumber')
print(created_nums)
form = AvonleaForm(request.POST)
if form.is_valid():
form.save()
return redirect('Avonlea')
messages.success(request , 'creates successfully ')
else:
return render(request, 'meter_readings/avonlea.html', {'form': form , created_nums:created_nums })

If I understand correctly, you can add
#<some_id>to the action attribute of your forms and when the page loads the browser will automatically put the element with theid="some_id"in view.Example:
If you submit
#form1when the page reloads the browser will scroll to#form2even if it's at the bottom of the page.Or if you only have one form, you can do:
