First of all I have done my research and found no reasonable explanation
for my issue. I have a site on heroku that works fine on the first page,
but when I click a button that I have programmed to go to another page, I
obtain the infamous CSRF error. The reason for this error is CSRF cookie is
not set. Here is a description of the background work done on the dev side:
1. Settings.py
MIDDLEWARE_CLASSES = (
'django.contrib.sessions.middleware.SessionMiddleware',
'django.middleware.common.CommonMiddleware',
'django.middleware.csrf.CsrfViewMiddleware',
'django.contrib.auth.middleware.AuthenticationMiddleware',
'django.contrib.auth.middleware.SessionAuthenticationMiddleware',
'django.contrib.messages.middleware.MessageMiddleware',
'django.middleware.clickjacking.XFrameOptionsMiddleware',
#'django.middleware.security.SecurityMiddleware',
'django.middleware.csrf.CsrfViewMiddleware',
)
2. base.py
<form class="col-lg-12" method = "post" id="loginform" action= "/menu/">
{% csrf_token %}
<div class="input-group" style="width:
65%;0px;text-align:center;margin:0 auto;">
<input class="form-control input-lg" title="Don't worry. We
hate spam, and will not share your email with anyone." placeholder="Email
address" type="text">
</div>
<br>
<div class="input-group" style="width:
65%;0px;text-align:center;margin:0 auto;">
<input class="form-control input-lg" title="Don't worry. We
hate spam, and will not share your email with anyone."
placeholder="Password" type="text">
</div>
<br>
<br>
<button class="btn btn-lg btn-primary" style = "width: 100px"
type="button" onClick ="logIn();">Log In</button>
<br><br>
</form>
3. views.py
def menu(request):
return render_to_response('home/base_1.html', context_instance =
RequestContext(request, {}) )
4. javascript for the function logIn() that is executed when the button is
clicked from (2)
function logIn ()
{
alert('Form has been submitted');
document.getElementById('loginform').submit();
}
I am seriously bewildered and cannot understand why the base_1.html site is
not being rendered and I am getting this CSRF error ! Please help me,
