taken answer to: how markup form fields <div class='field_type'> in django

class myform(forms.form):     myfield = forms.charfield(widget=forms.textinput(attrs={'class' : 'myfieldclass'})) 

or

class myform(forms.modelform):     class meta:         model = mymodel      def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):         super(myform, self).__init__(*args, **kwargs)         self.fields['myfield'].widget.attrs.update({'class' : 'myfieldclass'}) 

or

class myform(forms.modelform):     class meta:         model = mymodel         widgets = {             'myfield': forms.textinput(attrs={'class': 'myfieldclass'}),         }

above easiest change make original question's code accomplishes asked. keeps repeating if reuse form in other places; classes or other attributes work if use django's as_table/as_ul/as_p form methods. if need full control custom rendering, clearly documented

added newer way specify widget , attrs modelform.
