Apologies, apologies, Niphlod. Went to get the controller and saw might mistake. Classic PEBKAC situation. Thanks for your help. On Saturday, September 22, 2012 9:45:05 AM UTC-4, Niphlod wrote: > > Can you please post the complete controller ? I still don't understand > when you say "the view is

Hah! There they are. I guess I need to do some more reading on the request attributes. Thanks Niphlod. On Thursday, September 20, 2012 8:03:20 PM UTC-4, Niphlod wrote: > > have you tried simply printing request.post_vars in submit_site() and see > what it does contain? > > --
