I am not sure whether you can do what you want like that. When you
render HTML from within a view, it will be displayed on the same URL
on which that view exists. You could, instead of rendering the HTML
for step2 in the view for step1, redirect to another view written
specifically to deal with step2 functions. For example:
def step1_view(request):
if request.method == 'POST':
form = Form(request.POST)
if form.is_valid():
# save data, etc
return HttpResponseRedirect('/step2/')
Something like that. Also, the form wizard in the development version
of Django is looking like a very handy feature:
