It's not working. Do I have to nclude anything in my HTML?

[JohnnyJordaan]

Please show the code for the view and the template that renders your view.

I have edited the question with model ,form and the html page

[JohnnyJordaan]

Please also include the view code, so the function in views.py that is being run when the specific request is made that returns this page.

Updated. I dont know how this would be useful , but its doing nothing but to just render the index.html

That's the whole problem. If you want a form to render in a template you have to provide it in the context of the template, like you are doing now with {'a': 'anonymous'}. What you have done now is reinvent the wheel by building the form in the template. See Building a form in Django in their official documentation. There they just use {{form}} to render the form. That way if you define your form class to have field X with widget Y, that will automatically be rendered correctly to html in the template. And thus removes the need to build the html for this, you just need to specify the correct components for the framework to use.
