How to open the page in the same browser tab after submitting the form?

Question

Django

There is a view:

def contacts_new(request):
    if request.method == "POST":
        form = ContactForm(request.POST)
        if form.is_valid():
            post = form.save(commit=False)
            post.published_date = timezone.now()
            post.save()
            return redirect('index')
    else:
        form = ContactForm()
    return render(request, 'contacts/add_contact.html', {'form': form})

and template:

<form method="POST" accept-charset="UTF-8" class="post-form" autocomplete="off" target="_blank">{% csrf_token %}
  {{ form.as_p }}
  <button type="submit" class="btn btn-success">Save</button>
</form>

Clicking the save button opens the index (template) in a new browser tab, but I'm expecting it to open in the same tab. Please tell me what are the options to solve this problem?

Answer 1

Remove target="_blank" from the template
