Question

I am rendering my form using

{{ form.as_p }}

in my templates.

But I would like to have some of the “p” added some classes (not all of them), so I can have some sort of grouping between my fields thanks to css.

How would you do that?

Thank you!

Answer 1

If you want anything even remotely beyond what Django gives you with as_p, you should specify the fields yourself. You’ll get much more control without having to hack around. A simple template tag like display_field will allow you just to specify each field, its label and errors with a single tag. Then you can group the fields yourself using the HTML element meant for that: a fieldset.

<fieldset class="my_fieldset">
    {% display_field form.field1 %}
    {% display_field form.field2 %}
</fieldset>
