Recommended management of static HTML files?

OK, I understand that static JavaScript files, stylesheets and images should be stored in a /static/ directory and managed by the django.contrib.staticfiles app. But a typical project will contain both dynamic HTML pages generated by Django and (possibly long) static HTML pages. Such static HTML

Re: Django session + dynamic form + model form

Thank you, Tom. You are right! I shouldn't assign choices to a ModelMultipleChoiceField. That's what caused the problem. But instead of constructing a custom ModelMultipleChoiceField subclass, I abandoned "Model Form" and simply did the following, which worked! class myForm(forms.Form):

I had to learn basic Php for a class. It's worth it to subscribe to Lynda.com for a few months to get their online training videos. Removes much pain. Like all training, it covers the basics and you really don't know what you don't know until you try to do something. -Original Message-

Hi ! I have written this small library a while ago : http://code.google.com/p/django-cube/ . It is not exactly what you are looking for, but one of the aim is indeed easy generation of html tables. I don't know if it can be of any help to you, but you could check how the template tag is written

LESS combines CSS and javascript which I think that goes beyond the safe line, so I vote for SCSS ( http://sass-lang.com/ ) that also has a python version ( http://github.com/Kronuz/pyScss ). LESS is based on an "older" version of SCSS that didn't follow CSS syntax (SASS). On Aug 3, 1:52 pm, Tom
