How a field in a form in Django is rendered is determined by the
corresponding widget used for that field. To that end, Django offers a
great deal of flexibility when it comes to customising both the look
and functionality of form fields. Having said that, I should point out
without sounding condescending that one can specify and configure
different supported attributes of an HTML form element through the use
of the `attrs` attribute supported by Django widgets.
For example, to restrict the size of and specify a class for an input
field, the following can be used:
text = forms.CharField(label="text", max_length=10,
widget=forms.TextInput(
attrs={'size':'10', 'class':'inputText'}))
One can toss in all manners of *supported* HTML attributes in there.
