You need to give your button a name attribute. You can post two forms on a single page by checking the name of the button pressed. This can be done like so:

Technique 1

...
if form.is_valid():
    if "button1" in request.POST:
        # do things for form 1
    elif "button2" in request.POST:
        # do things for form 2
...

Technique 2

Change the name attribute of the hidden field depending on whether you are looking at country or interest.

You’re also not using jQuery with Django the way that it could best be done. As in, you’re not using the views.py or the forms.py files when submitting the information. Take a look at this answer for using jQuery and Django: How to use JQuery and Django (ajax + HttpResponse)?

Try setting DEBUG to True in the settings and look at the result 404 page through the console (or Firebug); the 404 error might not be caused by a missing URL but by the view rejecting the input, and the debug information could help in pinpointing the reason.

A possible cause might be whatever code is populating the value of <input id="country-tag-input">. If the id becomes interest-tag-input, that might cause the tag’s value not to be set, thereby sending an empty tagname to Django.
