Hi all,
I've just run into something that I have no idea how to tackle.
In creating a form with any number of checkboxes I would like
to share the input control name amongst all the checkboxes.
~ % cat forms.py
from django import forms
class FooForm(forms.Form):
def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
super(FooForm, self).__init__(*args, **kwargs)
for field in ('foo', 'bar'):
self.fields[field] = forms.BooleanField()
if __name__ == '__main__':
f = FooForm()
print(f)
So instead of this output:
~ % python2.5 ./forms.py
-- INSERT --
<tr><th><label for="id_foo">Foo:</label></th><td><input type="checkbox"
name="foo" id="id_foo" /></td></tr>
<tr><th><label for="id_bar">Bar:</label></th><td><input type="checkbox"
name="bar" id="id_bar" /></td></tr>
...
I would like to see:
~ % python2.5 ./forms.py
-- INSERT --
<tr><th><label for="id_foo">Foo:</label></th><td><input type="checkbox"
name="foo" id="id_foo" /></td></tr>
<tr><th><label for="id_bar">Bar:</label></th><td><input type="checkbox"
name="foo" id="id_bar" /></td></tr>
...
Notice that the input name attribute needs to be the same for all the input
elements (checkboxes).
I've looked through the code but it seems Django forms leans very heavily on
the name attribute being unique.
For HTML checkboxes, however, this is a fairly common technique and the HTML
spec allows for it.
Any help would be appreciated. :)
Cheers!
- Emiel
