I'm a designer new to django and the templating system has been pretty easy to pick up. The area that I have a problem with is the form shortcuts - the auto-generation of html is a big pain and causes me a lot of headaches in terms of being able to manipulate the elements directly, not just in terms of creating a page initially but especially when modifying one. I know it makes the programmers jobs easier because of the built-in data validation but it's a the cost of my productivity, as I see it now. I just don't have the same level of control over the actual html compared to the rest of the templates.
Can anyone share their tips on ongoing work with forms and designers? I asked a particularly well-known web designer on a django team how they deal with the issue and his answer in short is that they don't: he creates all the html by hand, including any form elements. Since I imagine that his programmers have the same data validation issues that the developers at my work do, I'm curious how they get around it. -- Al Abut -- web designer, crimefighter http://alabut.com -- --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
