If this is a modelform, when you get the model instance you can do x.get_FOO_display() where FOO is the name of the field. Otherwise, you will have to look it up against choices - a quick way to do this is dict(CHOICES)[choice] where choice is the relevant element from the form's cleaned_data. -- DR. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
