Re: Form Validation - Redisplay With Error
I'm very comfortable with SQL and more traditional programming. Would you recommend some specific HTTP primer, or anything else for those making the transition to web dev?

Surprisingly enough, it took me a couple weeks realizing I could as well just read the source code when I started working on / with oss. wrt/ web dev, I think the most important thing to learn is the HTTP protocol itself (and a couple others related specs like cookies etc). Once you get it, lot of things in Django (or any other decent web framework) starts to make sense, and it's easier to know what to look for in the doc.

Re: Form Validation - Redisplay With Error
Am trying to pre-select a radio button created with the django.forms library : vote = forms.ChoiceField( widget = forms.RadioSelect(), choices = [ ['a', 'i liked it'], ['b', 'i did not like it'] ], required=True ) How would I go about getting the 'a' choice pre-selected on an unbound form ? -- Ndungi Kyalo -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.

Re: Form Validation - Redisplay With Error
Because that would be too easy? ;) Sincere thanks, Bruno. A lot of this is new to me...python, Django, web dev, and even open source. Didn't even think of that! There's so much to learn, it can be overwhelming. Thank you again, I'll have a look through the code today.

Re: Form Validation - Redisplay With Error
Apologies...it seems I misunderstood clean_message(). It's not a method, but clean_* is something for each field. I'll continue my research, but would still love to hear from you all about custom login forms and how you handle them.
