I think you can do like this: if request.vars: use request.vars.varname to access values else: return .....
Since you point your form to the right actions the all the vars will be there when you submit. When you dont submit they will not be there. 2012/2/4 Salvation <[email protected]>: > Hi! > I have a html form in my default view.
