Jak złożyć formularz z HREF w Django?

Mam link, który po kliknięciu musi wysłać formularz zawierający niewidzialny pole za pośrednictwem żądania pocztowego. Wtedy muszę być w stanie uzyskać wartość pola, na przykład:

var = request.POST.get('name_of_var', '')

Po obejrzeniu kilku postów wydaje mi się, że nie mogę tego uruchomić. Oto, co mam do tej pory:

<form id="form-id" method="post">

 [*] 

 <input type="hidden" value="{{ obj }}" name="name_of_var">

 [url="/activities" onclick="document.getElementById('form-id').submit();"> {{obj}} [/url]

 [/*]

</form>

Moim zdaniem mam coś takiego, ale żądanie POST nigdy nie odpala. Jaki może być tutaj problem?:

if request.POST:

 var = request.POST.get('name_of_var', '')

 return render_to_response('activities/display_activities.html', var)

EDIT
: Oto moje widoki.py:

def index(request):

 if request.method == "POST":

 var = request.POST.get('name_of_var', '')

 return render_to_response('activities/display_activities.html', var) category1 = Service.objects.filter(category = 'Sports')

 category2 = Service.objects.filter(category = 'Dance')

 category3 = Service.objects.filter(category = 'Music')

 category4 = Service.objects.filter(category = 'Academics')

 category5 = Service.objects.filter(category = 'Art')

 category6 = Service.objects.filter(category = 'College') subcat1 = []

 subcat2 = []

 subcat3 = []

 subcat4 = []

 subcat5 = []

 subcat6 = [] for obj in category1:

 subcat1.append(obj.subcategory)

 subcat1 = list(set(subcat1))  for obj in category2:

 subcat2.append(obj.subcategory)

 subcat2 = list(set(subcat2))  for obj in category3:

 subcat3.append(obj.subcategory)

 subcat3 = list(set(subcat3))  for obj in category4:

 subcat4.append(obj.subcategory)

 subcat4 = list(set(subcat4))  for obj in category5:

 subcat5.append(obj.subcategory)

 subcat5 = list(set(subcat5))  for obj in category6:

 subcat6.append(obj.subcategory)

 subcat6 = list(set(subcat6))  return render_to_response('activities/activities.html', {'user': request.user, 

 'category1':category1, 'category2':category2, 'category3':category3, 

 'category4':category4, 'category5':category5, 'category6':category6, 

 'subcat1':subcat1,'subcat2':subcat2, 'subcat3':subcat3, 

 'subcat4':subcat4, 'subcat5':subcat5,'subcat6':subcat6 })
