get it to work.
This is what it looked like:
<head>
<script type = "text/javascript" src="/media/js/jquery.form-
defaults.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
function displayProfiles(profiles) {
member = profiles.values[0];
$(document).ready(function(){
var fname = member.firstName;
var lname = member.lastName;
var id = member.id;
$('#fname').val(fname);
$('#lname').val(lname);
$('#linkedid').val(id);
});
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<form>
<table>
{{ form.as_table }}
</table>
</form>
</body>
________________________
And in the forms.py file, I just set a widget for each of the forms,
and then as one of the attrs, I stated the id's (as shown in the
jquery)
Example:
last_name = forms.CharField(widget = forms.TextInput(attrs =
{'id':'lname'}), required=True)
Hope you like it. :)
