Customize HTML Output of Django ModelForm

Question

I am trying to add multiple inline form items to a page using Djangos ModelForms. I need Select boxes bound to database models. The forms are formatted and placed in a tabular format so I need to display only the ModelForm without ANY surrounding HTML.

class LeagueForm(ModelForm):
league = forms.ModelChoiceField(queryset=League.objects.all(), empty_label='Manual Team Entry:', required=False)

class Meta:
    model = League
    exclude = ['league_name']

Template:

{% if selected_sport == 1 %}     
<td>{{ nhl_form.as_p }}</td>
{% else %}

The problem is I dont want the paragraph tags, nor tables tags or anything at all. I need to have the form nicely sit where I place it without garbling up the surrounding html.

Can anyone please point me in the right direction? Thanks

Answer 1

Just refer to each field separately.

{{ nhl_form.league }}

will only show the league field, with no surrounding cruft.
