Question

How do I remove the label that comes attached to the TextArea I am trying to use with Django? I’m trying to find ANY information about this issue but I cannot seem to find anything relating to my problem. This is what I’m doing in my code:

class CommentForm(forms.Form):
    comment = forms.CharField(widget=forms.Textarea())

This is the HTML that it produces:

<label for="id_text">Text:</label> 
<textarea id="id_text" rows="10" cols="40" name="text"></textarea>

That label is no good and I’d like a way to remove it. That code was produced via:

{{ form.as_p }}

(I removed the paragraph tags because they are irrelevant)

EDIT: I added the class CommentForm part for further clarification.

Anyone have any suggestions?

The Django documentation on customizing labels says it could be turned off with auto_id argument to Form constructor:

f = ContactForm(auto_id=False)
