Question

Is there any way to add a class attribute to an input tag generated by django.models?

Answer 1

+4 A:

Not sure what you're referring to. Do you mean an HTML <input> tag generated by django.forms? If so, just specify a custom widget, using the attrs attribute in the constructor. See docs.

Yes, that's what i mean. and i know about the attr object i can set. however, automatically generated forms from the django.models class doens't seem to allow for this.

To customize the widget, declare the field in your form class. You have to do so for each field you want to add a class attribute to. See http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/topics/forms/modelforms/#overriding-the-default-field-types

+1 A:

You just need to override the relevant field in your form class, and add your attribute to the widget. This is described clearly in the documentation.

there is no form class. it's a model class.

Kenneth Reitz 2009-08-28 22:41:45

You must have a form class somewhere, even if it only has the meta `class=MyModel` declaration. Or did you mean a form generated within the admin? If so, please say so.

Answer 3

+1 A:

django-html provides a templatetag which allows you to add extra attributes in the template, like so:

{% field form.fieldname class="myclass" %}
