Few things you could do, but I think this is more of a browser / JS related topic than django.
1.) Post the form to an iframe, and in the iframe return javascript code to redirect or throw error about form content. 2.) Make the form post ajax based (bit harder, with csrf) and as above have the page act accordingly. 3.) Recommended - Use html bookmarks, put a book mark on the page with the form (on the top of the form would probably work). When redirecting back to the form page link to the book mark. ( http://www.example.com/submit_form/#theform) Either way should work, but just thinking off the top of my head -- Mike On 11 May 2012 23:43, brian <[email protected]> wrote: > I have form that is toward the bottom of a web page.
