You can achieve this with an inline formset. > Furthermore, I don't see a nice way to work with dynamically expanding forms >- IOW, allow the user to keep adding books to an Author using DHTML. This, however, is harder. I have been thinking about the best way to do this, and with a formset, you need to make sure that the POSTed values match up with what the form management tags say. More recently, I have been using jQuery, and the RESTful interface I provided for my apps, to add an object. I haven't combined this with a formset as yet, but one way might be to have a formset with a large number of extra forms, that are hidden until a new one is added. This feels a little hacky, however. > So far my impression of forms is - ick - lame. I think of forms as simply the method of sanitising the input from the user. I have had to subclass the forms quite heavily, but it can generally do what I want. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
