Description

I couldn't figure out how to do my own form processing for days... then I learned it was as simple as:

form = MyForm(request.POST)
if form.is_valid():

# Capture data, store to DB.
mymodel.title = form.clean_datatitle
mymodel.description = form.clean_datadescription
mymodel.save()

is_valid() cleans the incoming POST data, and stores the result in form.clean_data[]
