The reason for the redirect is stated in the comment over there. You can issue a redirect to any page to your liking, including the same one, if needed. In this case a successful post redirects you to the page where the newly creared item is displayed. You don't have to do it this way, if you don't want to. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
