in forms.py class InvtForm2(forms.Form): #used in closeout order view. invent=InventoryCloseouts.objects.all() items = forms.ModelMultipleChoiceField(queryset=invent, widget=forms.Select(attrs={'class':'colr', })) in views.py def order_closeouts(request): return render_to_response('order_closeouts.html', {'forms':forms}, context_instance = RequestContext(request)) On Feb 8, 8:03 am, hank23 <hversem...@stchas.edu> wrote: > I have coded a form which will display some data in a dropdown > selection box.
