Question

I have been making a form in html that has a checkbox and if checked it displays another checkbox using Javascript. I have now changed that form to use django’s Form library but I don’t know how to access the display attribute of the django input fields. I have tried the HideInput widget but all that doesn’t hide the label just the box itself.

Any help on how to set the display attributes of django Form objects and/or how to toggle those attributes using Javascript would be great and/or how to code event attributes on django Forms would be great!

models.py:

class ContactForm(forms.Form):
Contact = forms.BooleanField(required=False, widget=CheckboxInput())
More = forms.BooleanField(required=False, widget=CheckboxInput())

html page:

 <script type="text/javascript" src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.8.0.min.js"></script>
 <script type="text/javascript"> 




$(function(){
$('#id_Contact').click(function(){
 if($('#id_Contact').is(':checked')){
    $('#id_More').show();
 }
  });
});

    function ifChecked(id, id2){
        var ele = document.getElementById(id);
        var ele2 = document.getElementById(id2);

        if(ele.checked){
            ele2.style.display = "block";
        }
        else{
            ele2.style.display = "none";
        }
    }
</script>

<form action="/contact/" method="post">
{% for field in form %}
    <div class="fieldWrapper">
        {{ field.errors }}
        {{ field.label_tag }}: {{ field }}
    </div>
{% endfor %}
<p><input type="submit" value="Send message" /></p>
</form>

You can do this.

from django.forms import CheckboxInput, HiddenInput

class ContactForm(forms.Form):
  Contact = forms.BooleanField(required=False, widget=CheckboxInput())
  More = forms.BooleanField(required=False, widget=HiddenInput())

You could use jQuery

$(function(){
  $('#id_Contact').click(function(){
     if($('#id_Contact').is(':checked')){$('#id_More').show();}
  });
});
