<html>
<head>
    <title>Contact us</title>
</head>
<body>
    <h1>Contact us</h1>

    {% if errors %}
        <ul>

    </form>
</body>
</html>




=========================================
error

Forbidden (403)

CSRF verification failed. Request aborted.

Help

Reason given for failure:

    CSRF cookie not set.

In general, this can occur when there is a genuine Cross Site Request Forgery, or when Django's CSRF mechanism has not been used correctly. For POST forms, you need to ensure:

  • Your browser is accepting cookies.
  • The view function uses RequestContext for the template, instead of Context.
  • In the template, there is a {% csrf_token %} template tag inside each POST form that targets an internal URL.
  • If you are not using CsrfViewMiddleware, then you must use csrf_protect on any views that use the csrf_token template tag, as well as those that accept the POST data.

You're seeing the help section of this page because you have DEBUG = True in your Django settings file. Change that to False, and only the initial error message will be displayed.

You can customize this page using the CSRF_FAILURE_VIEW setting.

The bullet points in the error message provide some possible solutions. I'd start by adding {% csrf_token %} after your opening <form> tag in the template. Also of note though is that you've imported 'csrf' and 'RequestContext' in your view but you don't appear to be using them anywhere (at least not in the views code snippet you provided here).
