Here's the relavent HTML: <form id="upload" method="POST" enctype="multipart/form-data" action="/report/CDSEM/DR4iBeta/dr4iupload/"> <div style='display:none'><input type='hidden' name='csrfmiddlewaretoken' value='XXXXXXXXXXX' /></div> <div class="filter_group"> <div class="filter"> <label for="pixel_size">Pixel Size</label><br /> <input style="float: left; width: 40px" type="text" disabled="True" value="6" id="pixel_size" name="pixel_size"> </div> <div class="filter"> <label for="fov">FOV</label><br /> <input style="width: 30px" type="text" disabled="True" value="3" id="fov" name="fov"> </div> <div class="filter"> <label for="template_recipe">Template Recipe</label><br /> <input style="width: 200px" type="text" disabled="True" value="SF/SF/SF/SF_Template_Recipe" id="template_recipe" name="template_recipe"> </div> <div class="filter"> <label for="template_target">Template Target</label><br /> <input style="width: 200px" type="text" disabled="True" value="SF/SF/SF/SF_IMAQ_Template_Target" id="template_target" name="template_target"> </div> </div> <div> <input type="file" name="klarf_files" id="klarf_files" multiple="" style="display: inline; padding-top: 5px; padding-left: 2px; " /> <input type="submit" class="submit" style="width: 70px; display: inline;" value="Upload" /> </form> The select the files with the file button and upload them with the Upload botton. My view gets called, but I have the files in request.FILES but I don't get the other 4 input fields. Here's the relavent part of the view: class UploadForm(forms.Form): klarf_files = forms.FileField() pixel_size = forms.CharField() fov = forms.CharField() template_recipe = forms.CharField() template_target = forms.CharField() def dr4iupload(self, request): if request.method == 'POST': form = UploadForm(request.POST, request.FILES) if form.is_valid(): for file in request.FILES.getlist('klarf_files'): . . . I get the klarf_files, but I can't get the other 4 fields. The form does not have the cleaned_data dictionary: (Pdb) print form.cleaned_data() *** AttributeError: 'UploadForm' object has no attribute 'cleaned_data' -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
