Can't Submit ModelForm using CBVs

I am trying to use ModelForms and CBVs to handle them, but I am facing trouble especially while submitting my form. Here's my code.

forms.py

from django import forms

from .models import Volunteer


class NewVolunteerForm(forms.ModelForm):
    class Meta:
        model = Volunteer
        fields = '__all__'

views.py

from django.http.response import HttpResponse
from django.views.generic.edit import CreateView

from .forms import NewVolunteerForm


class NewVolunteerView(CreateView):
    template_name = 'website/join.html'
    form_class = NewVolunteerForm

    def form_valid(self, form):
        print('Submitting')
        form.save()
        return HttpResponse('DONE')

join.html

{% extends 'website/_base.html' %}
{% block title %}Join Us{% endblock title %}
{% block content %}

    <form method="POST">
        {% csrf_token %}
        {{ form.as_p }}
        <input type="submit">
    </form>

{% endblock content %}

The form is getting displayed correctly with no issues at all, but when I fill it in and press the submit button it simply re-rendered the form and doesn't submit it at all.

I solved this by adding the enctype="multipart/form-data" attribute to my <form> element.

The reason was when you have ImageFields or FileFields this attribute should be used.
