Nice thing about GETs is that users aren't confronted with the dreaded "Data was submitted with POST" confirmation, which is confusing to most people and usually not tested. Basically you end up breaking the back button and the reload button. Having a working reload button is nice for developers, and a working back button is really nice for users. There's a POST redirect to GET pattern where users POST a form, and are redirected to a GET for the next step. In this case, the POST disappears from the user's history (refresh and reload work as expected). I don't know a lot about Django's Form wizard, but it looks like it's hashing values in a hidden field, which would require use of the session scope (or maybe RoRs "flash" but that would break the reload button) so that you don't end up with a hash in the URL. Putting the hash in the url isn't necessarily an option because most web servers limit the length of URLs to something reasonable. -Dave --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django developers" group.
