Thankyou Wongo Bongo! Your solution was spot on correct. It came down to
one line of code that I modified that was the problem.
login_data = {'username':'jim', 'password':'beam',
'this_is_the_login_form':'1', 'csrfmiddlewaretoken':csrftoken}
You gave me the correct line, however the, 'this_is_the_login_form':'1' I
thought you were giving me a generic form name to be replaced with my form
name, however 'this_is_the_login_form' is the correct form name.
This is where my inexperince has shown through. How did you know that that
was the name of the form? When I went to django.contrib.auth.forms, it
seemed the form name was AuthenticationForm, and when I used view source in
a browser it looked like the form was named login-form. How could one know
the form was named 'this_is_the_login_form'?
