Hi Chris, Thank you very much for your time on this. I am not able to make out on how could I put this under clean() method. Ex: What does "you must call the*parent class's clean() "* mean in "if you would like to override the clean() method and maintain the _default validation_, you must call the parent class's clean() method."
This clean() method will go in models.py? or forms.py? Any simple examples would be of great help! Many thanks...Dilip On Fri, Nov 2, 2012 at 8:12 PM, Chris Pagnutti <chris.pagnu...@gmail.com>wrote: > Ahh. Just saw your link to overriding the clean() method.
