https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/contrib/csrf/#ref-contrib-csrf

render to context with the extra argument

importing the class csrf_protect and used as decorator.

and looks like if you use the "render" function should be the easiest way since will take care of everything.

I also tried removing the tags from the html and I still get the error.

I am missing to put something?

2 extra questions. 

can I use my own forms with django done in a html file? or they have to be django forms?  (as I understand the django forms are premade so its easy to use them and render the windget? like a calendar widget)

now that I have the form and the submit how can I pass the info of the form to the next webpage,  example

so it say  thank you for voting + the email they typed in the form.

thanks guys =p

 ratio = forms.ChoiceField(choices=options_ratio, widget=forms.RadioSelect())


the html

{% extends "initial_page.html" %}

{% block body %}
    <p>Vote for the restaurant of your choise</p>

    <form action="/polls/vote/thanks/" method="post">{% csrf_token %}
        {{ form }}
