How to add class attribute to ModelForm

Question

I have model:

class TestPolja(models.Model):
    class Meta:
        verbose_name = 'Test polja'

        integerPolje1 = models.IntegerField('integerPolje1')
        charPolje1 = models.CharField('charPolje1',max_length = 1024)
        bigint1 = models.BigIntegerField('bigint1',default = 67573737)
        date = models.DateField('date')

and modelForm:

class TestPoljaForm(ModelForm):
    class Meta:
        model = TestPolja

How to change TestPoljaForm to add class attribute to <input> tag?

You can do it in __init__ form method:

class TestPoljaForm(ModelForm):
    class Meta:
        model = TestPolja

    def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
        super(TestPoljaForm, self).__init__(*args, **kwargs)

        # for example change class for integerPolje1
        self.fields['integerPolje1'].widget.attrs['class'] = 'SOMECLASS'

        # you can iterate all fields here
        for fname, f in self.fields.items():
            f.widget.attrs['class'] = 'SOMECLASS'

And for each field i must iterate trough all fields and add widget?

Thank you. This took effect for me. You could use self.fields.values() instead of .items()

I would prefer this method.

This is ok too, but i want to set the same class name to all fields.

I wonder if it is possible to add classes in dict notation. I tried attrs=dict(class='my_class') but this obviously did not work, since Django (i.e. Python) was expecting a class declaration after class
