Re: Newbie form question

hi

the approach is correct, i think the problem is with the Field name

have you used 

choices = ....... ?

if yes cloud you change the name of this field?

cheers,

As a Django newbie I apologize if this is a trivial question.

I'd like to use a form field as an element in a generated page but not as part of a form.  In particular, I'm generating a table, some of whose elements are text and others of which I want to be drop-down lists. I thought I might be able to use forms.ChoiceField to generate the drop-down lists.

When I write

...

choices = forms.ChoiceField([1, 2, 3]) # as a test case

...

I get a django.forms.fields.ChoiceField object. But when I include it as an element of the table nothing appears.  

Is this a reasonable approach? (It seems very easy if it really could be made to work.) If so, what should I do to get it to display as a drop-down list?

Thanks.
