Thanks John. That seems to work. Good. No need to define TEMPLATE_CONTEXT_PROCESSORS at all, at least initially while I'm still using the development server. But it does raise a couple of other questions: If I want to use the same style sheet say for templates in all apps in a project, can I p

Re: How to make jQuery sliders based on model IntegerField?

Hi, basically, it's not a Django issue. You can display standard integer field in your form, but in your template you will use JQuery Slider to alter it so the field will be displayed as a slider. And when user moves the slider, you will write down the value into the integer field. Radovan http:/
