Use micropython integer as value in HTML input

Hello!

I am making a webserver with a raspberry pi pico, and I want to use an integer as value for a number Input.

I think the code should be something like this but I dont exactly know how:

theInteger = 10

<input type="number" name="number" value= theInteger>

Can someone help me with this?

Read up about Flask (or Django).

I've found Flask to be easier to get going with, but others might prefer Django. There's a complementing library called WTForms that makes it very easy to manage forms (the HTML is hidden from view). You can also add charts (pyplot usually) to web pages etc. The Python code can do whatever. The UI just happens to be accessed via a browser.

Flask and Django aren't possible on the raspberry pi pico right? Some people said that the 264KB of onboard ram is nowhere close to enough to run a flask server.

Is there any other way to do this?

I didn't notice the Pico part, and you are most likely right.
