field.label in template converts to lower case in 1.2.1

[Jeff Green]

With Django 1.2.1 it seems that my html template causes the
field.label to display
in lower case except for the first character. Has anyone experienced
this before and how do you
get it display without lower case conversion


My html template snippet is:

{% for field in form %}

{{ field.label_tag}}

Thanks,
Jeff

I think Django's been doing that for a long time (not just 1.2.1).

Probably the quick and easy way to change case would be to use just
field.label and pump it into whatever format you want:

{{ field.label|upper }}

You'll have to manually create the rest of the html for the label
using field.html_name

I've run into some slight problems figuring out the proper id's for
the corresponding labels... Normally it's just
id_{{ field.html_name }} but if you get into auto_id's as well as
labels for more complex things (radio button lists, etc) it can get a
little bit funky.

For example, the field name is Programmer Serial Number but it is being displayed

as Programmer serial number

 

I have not had this issue in 1.1.1. I was wondering if there was a way to ignore the conversion.

Post the form class (or model if you are generating it from a model).

Looks like you are generating the fields in two different cases.
Here's the second one:

self.fields[config.ConfigurationName] =
forms.ChoiceField(
choices=choicelist,
required=False)

Change that to:

self.fields[config.ConfigurationName] =
forms.ChoiceField(
label =
config.ConfigurationName,
choices=choicelist,
required=False)


(and make the same change to the multiple select as well)

Assuming the ConfigurationName has proper capitalization it should
work.

Actually - make that change to the rest of the field options too. The
word wrap threw me off there at the end.

Thanks Jason! That fixed the issue.
