Hi Sri Django's form objects have individual field objects, accessible in the template. These field objects have attributes for any validation error messages, and the form itself has an attribute for any non field related validation error messages. Normally, Django would output these for you when you output the form. However, you've hard-coded the HTML for the form, which makes it impossible for Django to output the related error messages. This page shows how forms are normally output: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.5/topics/forms/#displaying-a-form-using-a-template And this section of the same page outlines what you must do if you choose not to allow Django to do most of it for you: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.5/topics/forms/#customizing-the-form-template Cheers Tom -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
