Question

Have a basic question about how to show to tags in one within Django framework.
I would like my HTML table looks like:

HTML Table Object:

<table>
  <tr>
    <td>Cell1</td>
    <td>Cell2</td>
  </tr>
 </table>

Current Django code

from django import forms

class PFAMInp(forms.Form):
    Cell1 = forms.CharField(widget=forms.Textarea (attrs={'cols': 20, 'rows': 2}))
    Cell2 = forms.FloatField(required=True)

Later I am using Python to convert this Django form into HTML on GAE.

Python code to generate html

class PFAMInputPage(webapp.RequestHandler):
    def get(self):
        html = html + str(PFAMdb.PFAMInp())
        self.response.out.write(html)
app = webapp.WSGIApplication([('/.*', PFAMInputPage)], debug=True)
def main():
    run_wsgi_app(app)
if __name__ == '__main__':
    main()

My question is:
Is there a way to customize this django template to make it show two in one row, rather than showing two tags? Thanks for any suggestions.

Answer 1

You have the option of calling the form using Form.as_p() or Form.as_ul() which will print the form as a series of <p> tags or <li>tags, respectively.

The full API specification is here.

Here’s an example of how this might work:

from django import forms

    class PFAMInp(forms.Form):
        Cell1 = forms.CharField(widget=forms.Textarea (attrs={'cols': 20, 'rows': 2}))
        Cell2 = forms.FloatField(required=True)

    pfami_form = PFAMInp().as_p()
