Display value of a django form field in a template?
- by Eran Kampf
I have a form with an email property.
When using {{ form.email }} in case of some validation error, django still renders the previous value in the input tag's value attribute:
<input type="text" id="id_email" maxlength="75" class="required" value="[email protected]" name="email">
I want to render the input tag myself (to add some javascript code and an error class in case of an error). For example this is my template instead of {{ form.email }}:
<input type="text" autocomplete="on" id="id_email" name="email" class="email {% if form.email.errors %}error{% endif %}">
However this does not display the errorneous value ("[email protected]" in this example) to the user.
How do I get the field's value in the template?
