I am using modelChoiceField to display country and state into address form
class StateSelectionwidget(forms.Select):
    """ custom widget to state selection"""
    class Media:
        js = ('media/javascript/public/jquery-1.5.2.min.js', 'media/javascript/public/countrystateselection.js', )
class AddressForm(forms.Form):
    name = forms.CharField(max_length=30)
    country = forms.ModelChoiceField(queryset=[])
    state = forms.ModelChoiceField(CountryState.objects, widget=StateSelectionwidget)
    def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
        super(AddressForm, self).__init__(*args, **kwargs)
        self.fields['country'].queryset = Country.objects.all()
Country model is used to store country names.
CountryState model is used to store all states which is foreign  key to Country model
At the time of form loading i am getting all state names in dropdown while i want field to be blank by default.
If name field is empty at the time of form save i am getting error that name can not be empty but also getting all states into dropdown list while i want only the states which are mapped with current selected country.
