Can't get POST data from Django form - django

Question

I have a form involving just two textareas and I'm trying to POST them. However, I'm having difficulty trying to get the POST data from my view. Here's what I have so far in my template:
{% block title %}
<form method="post">
<strong>Title:</strong>
<div>
<textarea contenteditable id="id-title" name="title"></textarea>
</div>
{% endblock title %}
{% block description %}
<strong>Description:</strong>
<div>
<textarea contenteditable id="id-description" name="description"></textarea>
</div>
</form>
{% endblock description %}
<button class="btn-primary" id="ok" url="{% url 'publish' id=id %}" type="submit">Publish</button>
view:
#ajax
#csrf_exempt
#admin_required
def publish(request, id):
title = request.POST.get('title')
desc = request.POST.get('description')
print title
print desc
...
But title and desc turn out to be None. My publish function is also an ajax function that does some other stuff when the button is pressed.

Answer 1

Try altering your form with action, and moving your submit inside the form, e.g.:
<form method="post" action="{% url 'publish' id=id %}">
{% block title %}
<strong>Title:</strong>
<div>
<textarea contenteditable id="id-title" name="title"></textarea>
</div>
{% endblock title %}
{% block description %}
<strong>Description:</strong>
<div>
<textarea contenteditable id="id-description" name="description"></textarea>
</div>
{% endblock description %}
<input id="ok" type="submit">
</form>
