I am just using... model... class Contact(models.Model): Name = models.CharField(max_length=100) email = models.CharField(max_length=100) comments = models.TextField(blank=False)
form... class ContactForm(ModelForm): Name = forms.CharField(label='Name') email = forms.EmailField(label='Email') comments = forms.CharField(label='Comments',widget=forms.Textarea) class Meta: model = Contact views... f = ContactForm() f = request.POST if f.is_valid(): f.save() return HttpResponseRedirect('/home/') else: ctx = {} ctx['errors'] = f.errors return render_to_response('contact.html',ctx) when it doesn't save because validation failed, it renders contact.html again, but blank. All previous data lost. On Aug 20, 4:07 pm, "Emily Rodgers" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hello, > > How are you doing your validation?
