Thanks!!!That did it! I never even thought of that because my url pattern had a "rated/$" and it got to my view... AND the documentation on forms shows an action with no trailing slash for "create_form" so I never thought that a trailing slash was needed. see http://www.djangoproject.com/documentation/forms/ in the finished version of the "create_form" template it uses "action="." with no trailing slash. So, why is it that action="." as in the documentation with no trailing slash is ok but action="rated" isn't ok? Is "." a special case (if so, then why use that in the documentation as the example of how to do a change_form), or is the finished version of the change_form wrong? -- Glenn --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.

Re: why is my view for a submitted form not getting a POST?
What is happening is that Django is redirecting your request from "rating" to "rating/" (which is the correct location). Unfortunately POST information is lost in this redirect.

I've taken a working template and a working detail view and addeda form to that template AND another view to handle that form whensubmit gets clicked.In my template I've got:

except: raise Http404 # we either have a rating already or have to create one rating = 0 if request.POST: foo = foo # this will actually do some other stuff, but... for example...
s.rating = request.POST['rating'] s.save() foo = bar return HttpResponseRedirect("/place/%s/" % object_id)When I clicked on the form it got to that view just fine, but never seemed to do
anything, so... I added the "foo=..." lines purposely for debugging to throw an exceptionto see what was happening.I added the "foo = foobar" line because it never got to the "foo = foo" line
(i.e. never got to the "if request.POST").it barfs on the foo = bar line and the debug info shows: Request Method: GET ... GETNo GET data POST No POST data
I thought that clicking on the SUBMIT button would be a post methodand that request.POST would be true (and POST would bepopulated)... but it's not. Because it gets an exception at the"foo=..." line, I know that it is getting to that view when I click
submit.Huh? ? What's happening? What am I doing wrong? ?p.s. although it never gets to the line "... request.POST['rating']",is that the right way to write it to pull the input field named "rating"
