Question

I trying to use the pagedown(markdown editor), the one that stackoverflow in my django based website. However to get the markdown editor in a textarea it is required to give the text area both id and class as

<textarea id="wmd-input" class="wmd-input"/>

However the form fields generated by django have a default id as id_<field-name>. Is there a way I can assign the same id to this text_area?

Answer 1

you can directly pass id as well in the models.py where your are passing class name. This will override the default behavior.

widgets = {
        '<attribute_name>': Textarea(attrs={'class':'wmd-input','id':'wmd-input'}),
            }
