Adding an onchange method to a field in a form

[Tom Badran]

Using django newforms, is there a nice way i can add an onchange method to just one field of the form?

At the moment, instead of doing:

{{ form.as_table }}

 im doing:

<label id="whatver>Field:</label>{{ form.field }}

for all my fields, and just manually entering the one with the onclick into the template. It feels like i'm missing something completely obvious here, but its been a long day, and i've already spent most of it learning javascript, so now my brain has shut off.

Thanks for any pointers.

Use JavaScript in your template to add the onchange handler:

<script type="text/javascript">
window.onload = function()
{
document.getElementById("id_yourfield").onchange = function()
{
doStuff();
};
};
</script>

If you're using a JavaScript library, it will no doubt have a more
succinct way to do this which registers the event handler properly
instead of assigning a function to an event property.

Putting a line like
field.widget.attrs["onchange"]="JavaScript_here()"
into your the form definition works for me, too.
