How to render form field with information that it is required
As of Django 1.2, if your form has an attribute named required_css_class, it will be added to BoundField.css_classes for required fields. You can then use CSS to style the required parts of the form as desired. A typical use case:
# views.pyclass MyForm(django.forms.Form): required_css_class = 'required' ……
/* CSS */th.required { font-weight: bold; }…
<!-- HTML --><tr> <th class="{{form.name.css_classes}}">{{form.name.label_tag}}</th> <td>{{form.name.errors}}{{form.name}}</td></tr>If you use Form.as_table(), Form.as_ul, and Form.as_p, they do this automatically, adding the class to <tr>, <li>, and <p>, respectively.
