The problem I's having is that my HTML form depends upon lot of external resources like javascript validation libraries and lots of css on fields (and some may differ from each other), and I think that I don't need to use re-usable templates because I just want to design a one simple form so there's only one HTML file.Do you think that is it ok to just ignore the Django's template system and get along with the normal way.
