In the code you show you do neither of these things. You have created a regular Form with URLField, but when you create this form field you do not specify verify_exists=True. So when is_valid() is called on that form, it returns True even when the specified URL does not exist, because cleaning the form URL field does not check for the existence of the URL, since the form does not ask for that. Then the data from the cleaned form is used to create a model instance, but full_clean() is not called before saving that instance, so again the validation is bypassed. Easiest fix is to specify verify_exists on your form's URLField. Karen -- http://tracey.org/kmt/ -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
