Replying to my own message - problem solved - ignore previous posting!
I forgot to include my variables in my response
so expected values were not being passed - I was doing this:
variables = RequestContext(request, {
'form': form,
'caller': caller,
'error': error
})
return render_to_response('search.html')
instead of:
variables = RequestContext(request, {
'form': form,
'caller': caller,
'error': error
})
return render_to_response('search.html', variables)
Just another brain fart at my end. Sometimes I just can't see the wood
for the trees<g>!
