hello i have a form like this:
class Form_news(forms.Form):
    messgg = forms.CharField(label = 'Messaggio',max_length=10000,
widget=forms.Textarea)

and in the views i do as follow:
if request.user.is_superuser:
        if request.method == 'POST':
            if form.is_valid():
                 form = Form_news(request.POST)
                 mess = form.cleaned_data['messgg']

i get the error form News has not attribute cleaned_data

Why?

Your code makes no sense: you're testing if the form is valid before you instantiate it with the POST data. It should be the other way round, of course:

   if request.method == 'POST':

       form = Form_news(request.POST)

       if form.is_valid():

            ...etc...
