Access specific ModelForm field option within array of ModelForms for use with .js

[jondykeman]

Hello, 

I have the following situation:

I am rendering an array of ModelForms to my template. ie. formArray = [<ModelForm1>, <ModelForm2>, <ModelForm3>]

In the template I display the forms with the following:

{% for form in formArray %}

<div class="clearfix">

{{ form }}

</div>

{% endfor %}

Previously I have accessed certain ModelForms using {% if forloop.counter == # %} to add some customization.

However, now I would like more detailed control of certain field tags within a given ModelForm. ie. ModelForm2 is a RadioSelect, and I would like to add an onChange="some function" to one of the Radio Buttons within this ModelForm. 

Is there a way to access this specific field in my implementation directly? Or, through the use of a custom template filter?

To give the larger picture my goal is to have an "Other" RadioButton that when selected shows a Other text input using javascript, but while using ModelForms.

As such, if there is an entirely different way to going about this I would love to hear it. 

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

You could do something along these lines:

{% for field in form %}

...

<!-- The Radio Field -->

{% ifequal field form.someSpecificField %}

<input type="radio"  onClick="..." name="{{ field.name }}" value="{{ field.value }} />

{%endif %}

...

{% endfor %}

(That syntax may not be perfect, I just typed it in real quick). Hopefully that helps a bit.

You're right! 

Thank you.

I have a custom template filter in the app to format the radio options a certain way and I can just add this in to pick out the ones needing the additional onChange.
