First of all thanks for the answer. As far as I understand you set up a two step form in the same template. This could solve some of my problems, but not exactly the one I posted; in any case please post the code (a simple example would be very appreciated), because examples are exactly what djangonauts likes :)
Coming back to my original problem, it's just this question: is there a generic view just for getting and validating data from a form built on a given model? I mean without saving the instance of the model to the db (without ".save()") but just redirecting the validated POST to a proper view (note that this is not a "create" action). Or is it better to do it by hand using manipulators and formfields? Cheers, Emanuele
