Re: Invalid values in a form cause validation to fail

Hi Karen,

Here is an example that I use to replicate the error:

view >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
def myview(request)
filter_form = RatingsListFilterForm(request.GET or None)
if filter_form.is_valid():
return HttpResponse("Worked!")

return render_to_response('ratings_list.html',
{'filter_form':filter_form,

#'current_ratings_list':current_ratings_list,
#'temp':temp},
},

context_instance=RequestContext(request))
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

form >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
class RatingsListFilterForm(forms.Form):
organisation_name = forms.CharField(required=False,
widget=forms.TextInput(attrs={'class':'textbox'}))
corporation = forms.ModelChoiceField(required=False,
queryset=Corporation.objects.all(),
widget=forms.Select(attrs={'class':'selector'}))
....
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

I'm using Django 1.1 if that makes any difference
