I've never done it myself, but I think you'd just define the clean method in your Form's class (i.e. in forms.py), and the first line in your clean() method should call the parent classes, clean() method - to do this you need to call the super() method, which is just regular python. It think the call would look something like this
super(YourFormClass,self).clean() On Sat, Nov 3, 2012 at 6:55 AM, Dilip M <dilip...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi Chris, > > Thank you very much for your time on this.
