To get your select choices to be grouped, you'll have to do a little trickery.
The resultant output in HTML is:
<select id="id_choice" name="choice">
<optgroup label="Audio">
<option value="vinyl">Vinyl</option>
<option value="cd">CD</option>
</optgroup>
<optgroup label="Video">
<option value="vhs">VHS Tape</option>
<option value="dvd">DVD</option>
</optgroup>
<option value="unknown">Unknown</option>
</select> This example shows you how to provide a list of hardcoded options and it's straight out of the Django docs.
from django import forms
MEDIA_CHOICES = (
('Audio', (
('vinyl', 'Vinyl'),
('cd', 'CD'),
)
),
('Video', (
('vhs', 'VHS Tape'),
('dvd', 'DVD'),
)
),
('unknown', 'Unknown'),
)
class ExampleForm(forms.Form):
choice = forms.CharField(widget = forms.Select(choices = MEDIA_CHOICES)) That's it. Now you have the choices grouped in your form.
Now you can feel like a pro until you need dynamic choices!
