[Answer]-Django "if request.method == 'POST':" fails

Problem solved:

<script src="{{STATIC_URL}}js/plugins/jqBootstrapValidation.js"></script>

from jqBootstrapValidation caused the problem. I’m not very sure why but there must have been some interference with some form functionalities.

Anyway thanks for your help

You have an error in your template code: { form.as_p }} add ‘{‘

I tried the following:

If the form field is

your_name = forms.CharField(label='Your name', max_length=5, required = True)

and I just hit the Submit button without filling in a name, nothing happens. No reload page, no error messages (as the field is set to “required”).

If instead I define the field as

your_name = forms.CharField(widget=forms.TextInput(attrs=dict(required=True, max_length=30)), label=("our name"))

and I hit Submit without name I do get an Django form field error
