ok i'm totally lost i guess...
in my view i setup my session variables as such...
request.session['Street2']=request.POST.get('Street2','')
request.session['City']=request.POST.get('City','')
request.session['State']=request.POST.get('State','')
request.session['ZipCode']=request.POST.get('ZipCode','')
and when i want to pass back to the template i am doing the following:
return render_to_response("step2.html", 'form': form},
context_instance=RequestContext(request))
now my question here is how do i pass those session variables back to
the template. I've tried building a data dictionary like this:
{'Street2': request.session['Street2'], 'City':
request.session['City'], ...}
but that does nothing. Please help
