I use the following code to disable a ModelForm field in a custom
__init__:
self.fields['state'] =
USStateField(widget=widgets.Select({'class':'disabled', 'disabled':'',
'tabindex':'-1',}, choices=STATE_CHOICES), required=False)
Unfortunately, this presents a problem. When I post the form with a
"disabled" Select field, the form is no longer valid since it expects
a value associated with State. Under non-Django conditions, I'd add a
hidden field that contains the value of the Select field and give it
the same name as the Select field. However, I'm having trouble
figuring out how to retrieve the value of the Select field to place
into a InputHidden field. This is operating under the assumption that
there isn't a better way to do this. :)
For the sake of argument, here is my ModelForm:
class BookForm(forms.ModelForm):
class Meta:
model = Book
def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
super(BookForm, self).__init__(*args, **kwargs)
... some other stuff happens here ....
self.fields['state'] =
USStateField(widget=widgets.Select({'class':'disabled', 'disabled':'',
'tabindex':'-1',}, choices=STATE_CHOICES), required=False)
