@@ -40,7 +40,7 @@ To take advantage of CSRF protection in your views, follow these steps:
 2. In any template that uses a POST form, use the :ttag:`csrf_token` tag inside
    the ``<form>`` element if the form is for an internal URL, e.g.::
 
-       <form action="." method="post">{% csrf_token %}
+       <form action="" method="post">{% csrf_token %}
 
    This should not be done for POST forms that target external URLs, since
    that would cause the CSRF token to be leaked, leading to a vulnerability.
