JavaScript Slider in Django Form

[oboedude]

I'm new to Django, so please be patient and bear with me. I am looking
to create a form in Django with several text inputs and an analog
slider. I know how to make the text inputs, but I'm having trouble
with the slider. I have some JavaScript code that creates analog
sliders and I'd like to make a custom widget that I can incorporate in
my form. I know Django has some admin widgets but I'm not sure how to
create a custom widget of my own.

How do I create a custom widget and what do I have to do to use my
custom widget in a form?

It's possible I don't understand what you're trying to do, but I think
you just need to call the hook into the id of the textfield. If
multiple, set a class attribute in your form setup and hook onto that.

Read the documentation on forms, then checkout the section on form
media:

http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/topics/forms/media/#topics-forms-media

I've integrated several jQuery plugins using both Widget and Form
media hooks that Django provides.

Best,

I had been looking through that documentation already, but it's
certainly possible I missed something. I'll give it another look.
Thanks for the help guys :)
