In your view, you're being passed a variable 'ecard_id' as an integer from the URL, but then you're overriding that in the first line: ecard_id = get_object_or_404(EcardsFiles, pk=ecard_id) so now ecard_id is actually an EcardsFiles object, not an ID. When you then pass ecard_id as the initial value of the 'ecard' field in the form, it uses the unicode representation of the object, which is why you're seeing the title. If you just pass the ID in directly, your form should work. Note that you aren't ever using the values of the existing EcardFiles instance, so these will always be overridden by the GET parameters - not sure if that's what you want. -- DR. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
