Question

All,

I have a template page say x.html

i have 3 text fields name(varchar2) ,age(int),school(varchar2) in it.

If the users enters values in the form in x.html(say values name=”a” ,age=”2″ ,school=”a”) and submit it.I need to return the same values back to x.html indicating an error.

My question is how to return the same values to x.html.

Thanks…..

from docs:

The standard pattern for processing a form in a view looks like this:

def contact(request):
    if request.method == 'POST': # If the form has been submitted...
        form = ContactForm(request.POST) # A form bound to the POST data
        if form.is_valid(): # All validation rules pass
            # Process the data in form.cleaned_data
            # ...
            return HttpResponseRedirect('/thanks/') # Redirect after POST
    else:
        form = ContactForm() # An unbound form

    return render_to_response('contact.html', {
        'form': form,
    })
