No POST data

I realise this is likely something trivial I am missing, and I'm aware of http://code.djangoproject.com/wiki/NewbieMistakes... However, I have a form that's set up like this: From: Calendar.setup({ inputField : "date_from", button : "date_from_cal" }); To: Calendar.setup({ inputField : "date_to"

Re: No POST data
