Im also a django beginner, but i have bit more advanced knowledge
about js/jquery
Here's what ive learned so far: All js events happen in browser and
are all related/attached to some DOM elements.
Basic (model)form flow works like that:
You create a model
You create a modelform (in apps forms.py for example)
You pass it to a template in a view
You load it in template with {{ from }}
Check django forms documentation for more specific stuff.
If you want to run some events related to form fields or when
submitting a form, then you must know how the form will look like in
markup and you can do it on template level writing stuff directly into
template or create js file that is started on jquery domready event.
That js file will catch formfield events.
You can also create formwidgets. Not sure how to use/create them
beause so far, ive only used tinyMCE pluggable and havent created any
of my own.
Basically i do not think django is an issue here. Just create html
file with form and then create jquery some jquery events. Adding
django into the mix changes not a thing especially if you want to use
onchange events.
