oops, did not use form_for_instance(d). However, is_valid is not telling me that the form is correct. What am I doing wrong?
>>> d = Person.objects.get(id=1) >>> p = forms.models.form_for_instance(d) >>> f=p() >>> print f <tr><th><label for="id_name">Name:</label></th><td><input id="id_name" type="text" name="name" value="My name" maxlength="200" /></td></tr> <tr><th><label for="id_country">Country:</label></th><td><select name="country" id="id_country"> <option value="">---------</option> <option value="1" selected="selected">USA</option> <option value="2">Netherlands</option> </select></td></tr> <tr><th><label for="id_addr1">Addr1:</label></th><td><input id="id_addr1" type="text" name="addr1" value="my address" maxlength="200" /></td></tr> <tr><th><label for="id_addr2">Addr2:</label></th><td><input id="id_addr2" type="text" name="addr2" value="my address 2" maxlength="200" /></td></tr> <tr><th><label for="id_addr3">Addr3:</label></th><td><input id="id_addr3" type="text" name="addr3" value="my address 3" maxlength="200" /></td></tr> <tr><th><label for="id_addr4">Addr4:</label></th><td><input id="id_addr4" type="text" name="addr4" value="MY ADDRESS 4" maxlength="200" /></td></tr> On May 1, 10:10 pm, maeck <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I am confused about the following: > If I get a previous saved record, transform it into a form instance > and then create a form out of it, the data is not valid nor bound (see > below).
