Oops sorry for the duplicate post!
I am looking to get controll of a specific field. The docs say I can
get my hands on the following parts of a field:
{{ field.label }}
The label of the field, e.g. E-mail address.
{{ field.label_tag }}
The field's label wrapped in the appropriate HTML <label> tag,
e.g. <label for="id_email">E-mail address</label>
{{ field.html_name }}
The name of the field that will be used in the input element's
name field. This takes the form prefix into account, if it has been
set.
{{ field.help_text }}
Any help text that has been associated with the field.
{{ field.errors }}
what about the value of the field, if it is text for example:
<input id="id_subject" type="text" name="subject" maxlength="100"
value="the_thing_i_am_after" onclick="javascript :smokeAndMirrors()" /
>
I don't want django to write the whole form for me. I'm probably
missing something quite obvious!
