HTML Newbie Question: Colored Background for Characters in Django HttpResponse

Answer 1

+2 A:

It could be something like this:

aString = 'abcd'
newString =''
colors= [0.0, 1.0, 0.5, 1.0]
for i in aString:
    newString = newString + '<span style="background-color: rgb(0,%s,0)">%s</span>'%(colors.pop(0)*255,i)



response = HttpResponse(newString)

untested

This worked for me, except a slight bugfix: the value used for color value (in the example colors.pop(0)) should be multiplied by 255 in the string argument.

and i and colors.pop(0) where mixed up. But now i corrected it

Answer 2

+2 A:

you can use something like this to generate html in the django view itself and return it as text/html

data = "abcd"
greenShades = [0.0, 1.0, 0.5, 1.0]

out = "<html>"
for d, clrG in zip(data,greenShades):
    out +=""" <div style="background-color:RGB(0,%s,0);color:white;">%s</div> """%(int(clrG*255), d)
out += "</html>"

Answer 3

+1 A:

Your best bet here would be to use the span element, as well as a stylesheet. If you don't want to use a template, then you'd have to render this inline. An example:

string_data = 'asdf'
color_data = [0.0, 1.0, 0.5, 1.0]
response = []
for char, color in zip(string_data, color_data):
    response.append('<span style="background-color:rgb(0,%s,0);">%s</span>' % (color, char)
response = HttpResponse(''.join(response))

I'd imagine that this could also be done in a template if you wanted.
