I have a modal with a form in it. The issue is that on invalid form it does return the form errors but it also closes the modal dialog box by rendering the home page again. It is also the home page so the return render is needed for the logging in.

**How would I just return to the screen if the post fails.**

```
def index(request):
    context = {}
    if request.method == "POST":
        print(request.POST)
        form = UserProfileForm(request.POST or None, request.FILES or None,instance=request.user)
        if form.is_valid():
            form.save()
            return redirect('home') 
    else:
        form = UserProfileForm()
    context['form']= form
    return render(request, "home.html", context)

```

```
