A bit more info on this. I went back to trying to get the form to return the parameters as it should. I realized I was not calling form.is_valid(). I added that, and found it was returning false because it said all 4 of the char fields were not being provided even though they are. Looking at what the browser is sending, indeed it's sending just the one file field. It's like the fields in my template are not being linked up with the fields in the form. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
