How can I set attributes to li tags in CheckboxSelectMultiple?

Question

I used CheckboxSelectMultiple as a widget for MultipleChoiceField. I know it makes something like this:

<ul>
  <li><input type="checkbox" name="..." ></li>
  ...
</ul>

when I set an attribute to CheckboxSelectMultiple, django adds it to ul tag. my question is, how can I set attributes to li?

Answer 1

You can proceed that way

Django provides a ul list for MultipleChoiceField . I give you an example since I do not have any clue of your codes

forms.py

OPTIONS = (
    ("B", "Black"),
    ("Y", "Yellow"),
    ("R", "Red"),
)
colors = forms.MultipleChoiceField(widget=forms.CheckboxSelectMultiple,choices=OPTIONS)

send the form to the template through your_view

template.html

you would have called it like with {{form.colors}} . This way will let django generates its pre-built html, whereas you can loop through it:

<ul>
{% for check in form.colors %}
    <li class='your class'>{{check.tag}} <!-- this is the checkbox input generated by django -->
    <label for="{{check.id_for_label}}">{{check.choice_label}}</label></li>
{% endfor %}
</ul>
