I found the answer, By the time super.__init__ completes, it creates the default widget for that field. If you want to sepcify a different default widget, do
class DojoCharField(forms.CharField): def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs): if not kwargs.has_key('widget'): kwargs.update({'widget' : forms.TextInput(attrs={'dojoType':'dijit.form.TextBox'})}) super(DojoCharField, self).__init__(*args, **kwargs) or some thing similar.
