How can I just put a "size" attribute to > the fields? Okay, after some introspection (__dict__ rules) I found this solution: class SixChamberChannelForm(ModelForm): def __init__(self, **keyw): super(SixChamberLayerForm, self).__init__(**keyw) self.fields["gas"].widget = forms.TextInput(attrs={"size": "10"}) self.fields["diluted_in"].widget = forms.TextInput(attrs={"size": "10"}) class Meta: model = models.SixChamberChannel I nobody sees possible unfortunate side effects here, I think that's it.
