Question

I studied the Crispy-Forms documentation and I tried to put an extra button into one of my forms. With

self.helper.add_input(Button('back', "Back", css_class='btn'))

I can add a nice button. But the Button() wont take an onclick or on_click-attribute. So how can I add logic to this button? Adding an onclick event with JQuery isnt a very nice solution…

Thanks!

This is not included by default (afaik..).
If you just need this once, is possible to use crispy-forms HTML Layout Object

HTML('<input type="button" name="Save" onclick="do_whatever" />')

What do you then dislike using jQuery? You could handle this rather easy and generic, using something like:

$('form :submit.ajax_submit').live('click', function(e) {
    e.preventDefault();
    var my_form = $(this).parents('form');

    // do whatever
    alert(my_form.attr('id'));
    alert(my_form.attr('action'));
});

and then just pass the class:

Submit('save', 'save', css_class='ajax_submit')
