Hi, I'm kind of lost as to how to do this:

I have some chained select boxes, with one select box per view. Each choice should be saved so that a query is built up. At the end, the query should be run.

But how do you share state in django? I can pass from view to template, but not template to view and not view to view. Or I'm truly not sure how to do this. Please help!
