Hi have a strange problem in my new Django project.
I'm testing basically the NameForm example from the Django Documentation Working with Froms. It seems to be an easy one but somehow when I try to submit some name nothing happens even not a page reload.
form.py
from django import forms
class NameForm(forms.Form):
your_name = forms.CharField(label='Your name', max_length=100)
views.py
from django.shortcuts import render
from django.http import HttpResponseRedirect
from groupbuilder import forms
def GroupBuilder(request):
if request.method == 'POST':
form = forms.NameForm(request.POST)
if form.is_valid():
return HttpResponseRedirect('/thanks/')
else:
form = forms.NameForm()
return render(request, 'groupbuilder.html', {'form': form})
the template:
{% csrf_token %}
{ form.as_p }}
setting.py

The strange thing is if I put
return HttpResponseRedirect('/thanks/')
right after the "else" in the
if request.method == 'POST':
statement, I can't even fill out the form when I try to visit the form URL. It takes my directly to /thanks/. So the request.method check always fails.
What do I miss??
