I have a TaskForm that contains a DateField. If I create my form from an instance of a Task, I find that when I render the DateField field, the value argument to render() is an actual datetime.date object. However, if I create my form from POST data, the value argument to render() is just a unicode string for the date - ie, whatever the user typed in.
I want to render my date with a class of "late" if the date is in the past. Is it good practice to just have the render() method look at the value and if it's a unicode string, just turn it into a date object in order to do the compare? This seems somehow wrong to me, so I'm just wondering if I'm missing something. Thanks, Margie -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
