Hi Joseph, I say thanks for the pointer, too. A quick question (since you seem to be involved with this), is there any reason to have django not prefix the form fields by default with, say, the model-name (so prefix='' or prefix='somethingelse' can still be used if someone doesn't want it that way).
I would definately vote for making it default unless someone can come up with potential problems it may cause. There'd be just one thing less to worry about if it was that way... And if there are worries about backwards compatibility I'd propose a toggle-option in settings.py defaulting to False. -mark On Wed, 2007-09-26 at 01:29 -0500, Joseph Kocherhans wrote: > On 9/26/07, Przemek Gawronski <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > > I'm using several forms (newforms) to build one html form.
