Re: Simple input forms which show more than one row - easy/possible in django?

I want to create a simple data entry form on a web page that shows all
the columns of a database across the page (there aren't many columns,
they will fit!) and a number of rows down the page.

I.e. I want a data entry form that looks like MS Access 'tabular'
format, as follows:-

    Col1Row1    Col2Row1        Col3Row1        Col4Row1        Col5Row1
    Col1Row2    Col2Row2        Col3Row2        Col4Row2        Col5Row2
    Col1Row3    Col2Row3        Col3Row3        Col4Row3        Col5Row3
    Col1Row4    Col2Row4        Col3Row4        Col4Row4        Col5Row4
    Col1Row5    Col2Row5        Col3Row5        Col4Row5        Col5Row5
    Col1Row6    Col2Row6        Col3Row6        Col4Row6        Col5Row6
    New Data    New Data        New Data        New Data        New Data

Can django do this easily in a 'ready made' sort of way or do I have to
actually create the form and all its fields?

You want model formsets:

https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.3/topics/forms/modelforms/#model-formsets

There's a third-party package called django-datagrid which might also help, but I've no idea what it's like.
