Hi,
this is how I am using the newforms.
My Form
class NewEmployeeForm(forms.Form):
contract_from = forms.DateField()
contract_to = forms.DateField()
position = forms.CharField(max_length=20)
My View
def create_employee(request):
f = None
if request.method == 'POST':
f = NewEmployeeForm(request.POST)
if f.is_valid():
return HttpResponse('valid')
return render_to_response('create_employee.htm', {'form':f})
My Template
<form method="post" action="/manning/create_employee/">
<p>
<label for="id_contract_from">Contract from:</label>
<input type="text" name="contract_from"
id="id_contract_from" />
{{form.contract_from.errors}}
</p>
<p>
<label for="id_contract_to">Contract to:</label>
<input type="text" name="contract_to"
id="id_contract_to" />
{{form.contract_to.errors}}
</p>
<p>
<label for="id_position">Position:</label>
<input id="id_position" type="text" name="position"
maxlength="20" /
>
{{form.position.errors}}
</p>
<p>
<input type="submit" value="Create">
</p>
</form>
my problem is after the validation error, I would like to populate the
form with the posted data. One solution is to change my view to
def create_employee(request):
if request.method == 'GET':
f = NewEmployeeForm()
if request.method == 'POST':
f = NewEmployeeForm(request.POST)
if f.is_valid():
return HttpResponse('valid')
return render_to_response('create_employee.htm', {'form':f})
and my template to
<form method="post" action="/manning/create_employee/">
<p>
{{form.contract_from.label}}
{{form.contract_from}}
{{form.contract_from.errors}}
</p>
<p>
{{form.contract_to.label}}
{{form.contract_to}}
{{form.contract_to.errors}}
</p>
<p>
{{form.position.label}}
{{form.position}}
{{form.position.errors}}
</p>
<p>
<input type="submit" value="Create">
</p>
</form>
but my problem here is that how can I apply my css if I can't change
the class attribute of label and input tag generated by the newforms?
any ideas?
