how to add css class to radio button in django template

Question

I am trying to do the following with django widget tweaks:

{{ form.gender.0.tag|attr:"class:radio_1" }}

I get the error:

'SafeText' object has no attribute 'as_widget'

What am I doing wrong?

Answer 1

Initialize your RadioButton like this:

CHOICES=[('option1','option1'),
         ('option2','option2')]

radio = forms.ChoiceField(choices=CHOICES, widget=forms.RadioSelect(attrs={'class': 'radio_1'}))

and the generated HTML-Code will look like this:

<input type="radio" class="radio_1" ... />
