if want update html code flask can, have return new html template , don't think way.

you can make ajax call flask route, , on success callback can update directly form values want (easier jquery).

$.ajax({   type     : 'post',   url      : '/updateform',   datatype : "json",   contenttype: 'application/json;charset=utf-8',   data     : json.stringify(dict_var),   success : function (result) {     $('.'+dict_var.form_name[result.value]).attr('selected','selected');   },   error : function (error) {     console.log(error);   } }); 

with dict_var = { 'name' : form_name, 'value' : selected_value }

something :)

peace
