Dear All
I have a choiceField in one of my forms, and I'd like to have it
rendered displaying a prompt. I think the html would be something
like this:
<select>
<option value="">Please choose a colour:</option>
<option value="r">Red</option>
<option value="g">Green</option>
<option value="b">Blue</option>
</select>
This would display a drop-down menu showing "Please choose a colour:".
The form field would be something like this:
colours = (('r','Red'),('g','Green'),('b','Blue))
# ...
fave_colour = forms.ChoiceField(choices=colours)
The problem is, this displays one of the choices. I'd much prefer a
prompt (in fact for our application, displaying one of the choices, as
if it were a kind of 'default', is not at /all/ appropriate).
I've tried
fave_colour = forms.ChoiceField(label="Please choose a colour:"
choices=colours)
and
fave_colour = forms.ChoiceField(initial="Please choose a colour:"
choices=colours)
and I've scoured the net for clues, but found nothing which works.
Please can anyone here help me work out how to do this with
django.forms?
With thanks and best wishes
Ivan
