Errr, have you read this: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.4/howto/outputting-csv/
Your view can know if a form was submitted, submitted but with invalid data and submitted with valid data. A view is just a python function so if you have determined that the user submitted valid data, just go ahead and extract the CSV to be output. Perhaps you should go through the examples in the django forms documentation again: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.4/topics/forms/?from=olddocs However, I don't think its possible to send both an html page and a CSV so I guess you'll have to choose one or send them one at a time (html page then csv). I'm sure Mevlyn will know if its possible though. On 7/7/12, Smaran Harihar <smaran.hari...@gmail.com> wrote: > Thanks for the reply Melvyn and Babatunde.
