how to use the href attribute in django templates

Question

When I try to use a link in my Django template from /appname/index/ to get to /appname/detail/### I am instead getting to /appname/index/deta

Answer 1

From my experience, as long as you have defined the url of the page the href tag should lead to in urls.py, include the absolute path in the format below.

Site name: yyyy.com
Url of page to redirect to in urls.py: yyyy.com/signup/

Sample link: Signup

You will notice that what goes inside the href tag is sort of appended to the current url. For more dynamic links, you can use some python as of DTL guidelines.
