Another option is to set the listeners on the HTML objects using javascript after the HTML objects are created. sandro and richard - those attributes are stipped of code, so you can’t set script attributes that way.

Leah, I hate to be such a standards nerd but onclick definitely isn't raw XHTML, let's get some unobtrusive javascript in there before XHTML gets jealous!

I think I'm going to go you're route too with ClassOwl, I need a lot more granular control over my forms.

I assure you that it's pretty cool. Here it is with some "" characters replaced with { and }. >>> import django.newforms as forms >>> class cf(forms.Form): ... name = forms.CharField(widget=forms.TextInput(attrs={"foo":"bar"})) ... >>> f = cf() >>> print f {tr}{th}{label for="id_name"}Name:{/label}{/th}{td}{input foo="bar" type="text" name="name" id="id_name" /}{/td}{/tr} >>> How silly-looking. But you see what I'm getting at. Set attrs={"onclick":"a whole bunch of javascript"} and go to town.

Here it is with some “” characters replaced with { and }.

>>> import django.newforms as forms
>>> class cf(forms.Form):
… name = forms.CharField(widget=forms.TextInput(attrs={”foo”:”bar”}))
…
>>> f = cf()
>>> print f
{tr}{th}{label for=”id_name”}Name:{/label}{/th}{td}{input foo=”bar” type=”text” name=”name” id=”id_name” /}{/td}{/tr}
>>>

How silly-looking. But you see what I’m getting at. Set attrs={”onclick”:”a whole bunch of javascript”} and go to town.

OK, I just tried it. Take a look: >>> import django.newforms as forms >>> class cf(forms.Form): ... name = forms.CharField(widget=forms.TextInput(attrs={"foo":"bar"})) ... >>> f = cf() >>> print f Name: >>> Note the extra foo="bar" attribute. Neat, eh? I haven’t tried this, but it seems that form fields can override the widgets associated with them… and you can add attributes when creating the widgets.

>>> import django.newforms as forms

>>> print f
Name:
>>>

Note the extra foo=”bar” attribute. Neat, eh?
