Actually I have been through the tutorial, but there are still a lot
of gaps in the information presented, because many of the examples may
or may not show all of the code in all of the various modules which is
needed for everything to work together successfully. My next question
is what is wrong with this form field definition in my form:
polls = forms.ChoiceField(required=True, widget=forms.Select,
choices=polls)
It seems to be having a problem with my specified "choices" valule. In
my view I plan on creating a list object from the database table which
will contain the choices to be displayed in my select (dropdown) box.
but the documentation doesn't seem to explicitly explain with a coding
example how to specify a database table column for the choices
parameter.
