django - how can i edit the html displayed in a form field?

Question

I'm using bootstrap, and i'd like to set the span of some of the elements i have in a form.

so pretty much, instead of:

<input id="id_display_name" type="text" name="display_name">

i'd like to show

<input id="id_display_name" type="text" name="display_name" class="span4">

where the initial line was generated by:

{{ form.display_name }}

how do i stick the new html in?

Answer 1

https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/forms/widgets/#django.forms.Widget.attrs

display_name = forms.TextInput(attrs={'class': 'span4'})

will result in:

<input id="id_display_name" type="text" name="display_name" class="span4" />'
