Stop right there. From http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.2/topics/forms/modelforms/#overriding-the-default-field-types-or-widgets: "New in Django 1.2: The widgets attribute is new in Django 1.2." You've successfully defined a widgets attribute on the form's Meta class, but Django is doing absolutely nothing with it, because 1.1 doesn't know about it. Instead, you'll need to override the field definition at the form level: class WeightSliderForm(forms.ModelForm): amount = forms.FloatField(widget=SliderInput(attrs={ 'max':'1000', 'min':'0', 'step':'.001', 'unit':'%', })) class Meta: model = Recipe -- DR. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
