Well thats what i was complaining about in the beginning that i could
use good example of how to do it. Its quite confusing how form
validation is on one page, errors on the others and views on third and
there is not single full example.
How should the else part be?
else:
message = "form was not valid"
accform = form
...
return render_to_response......
something like that perhaps?
