for loop logic in template

hi
I have a model with 3 fields
class Employee(models.Model):
name=models.CharField(max_length=50)
home_address=models.TextField(blank=True)
change_filter=models.IntegerField()

I am creating a modelform using this class as model.
class EmployeeForm(ModelForm):
class Meta:
model=Employee

In my template,I want to give the IntegerField some special
treatment ..ie,I want to render it as input type="range" instead of a
text field.
I can do this like,
...
<p>
<label for="id_name">Enter name:</label>
{{empform.name}}
</p>
<p>
{{empform.name.errors}}
</p>
<p>
<label for="id_home_address">Enter address:</label>
{{empform.home_address}}
</p>
<p>
{{empform.home_address.errors}}
</p>

<p>
<label for="id_change_filter">select change filter value:</label>
<input type="range"
min="0"
max="1000"
step="2"
value="6" id="id_change_filter" name="change_filter"/>
</p>
<p>
{{empform.change_filter.errors}}
</p>

<input type="submit" value="Submit"/>
</form>

Here ,I am using the same logic for the first two fields..
I want to render the change_filter using an input type="render"..
so I thought I can take care of this using a for loop.
{% for field in empform %}
{% ifequal field.name "change_filter" %}
<p>
<label for="id_change_filter">select change filter value:</
label>
<input type="range"
min="0"
max="1000"
step="2"
value="6" id="id_change_filter" name="change_filter"/>
</p>
{% else %}
<p>
{{ field.label_tag }}: {{ field }}
</p>
{% endifequal %}
{%if field.errors %}
{{field.errors}}
{% endif %}
{% endfor %}

This gives the desired effect..But I am wondering if hardcoding the
field's name in the ifequal tag is the correct way.Can I check the
type of field instead?I am not sure how to do this..
Any advice would be nice..
thanks
jim
