What's the Django way of presenting a formset horizontally, i.e. one row per form? The as_table method generates multiple forms vertically (with the labels). I need the form fields in table rows (one row per form) and the labels should be on top. I don't see anything out of the box. Is this discouraged for some reason?
I should clarify that I actually want a table, because of a UI table widget I'll be using. And that table should have the labels in the .
So my desired structure is:
<table>
<thead>
<tr><th>column1</th><th>column2</th></tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
<tr><td>form1.value1</td><td>form1.value2</td></tr>
...
</tbody>
</table>
You might want to try something like this http://www.djangosnippets.org/snippets/1442/
{{ formset.non_form_errors.as_ul }}
<table id="formset" class="form">
{% for form in formset.forms %}
{% if forloop.first %}
<thead><tr>
{% for field in form.visible_fields %}
<th>{{ field.label|capfirst }}</th>
{% endfor %}
</tr></thead>
{% endif %}
<tr class="{% cycle row1 row2 %}">
{% for field in form.visible_fields %}
<td>
{# Include the hidden fields in the form #}
{% if forloop.first %}
{% for hidden in form.hidden_fields %}
{{ hidden }}
{% endfor %}
{% endif %}
{{ field.errors.as_ul }}
{{ field }}
</td>
{% endfor %}
</tr>
{% endfor %}
</table>
