Hi all - being new to Django I've started to define my first template. The
issue that I am having is when I simply want to get a value from a form
object (rather than the whole <input .... </input> string).

I can get around this by passing in extra values in the render_to_response
command in the views.py file i.e., 

blah = get_object_or_404(mymodel, pk=id)
blah_date = blah.date

and then pass in blah_date to my template.

I thought though there may be a way of getting to the values from the form
object that I am passing into the template

form = BlahForm(request.POST,instance=blah) # BlahForm is defined in
models.py

so in the template I could get values from the form object ie..,
form.date.value (or something similar)

is there a way to do this or do I have to pass in values from the views.py
file as I having to do at the moment.

Hope this makes sense?!

Regards
