Django: Why does my CharField not get given the class vTextField?

django, django-forms

Solution

Whilst @czarchaic's answer worked (so +1), browsing the source yielded this solution, which I prefer:

from django.contrib.admin.widgets import AdminTextInputWidget

class DiaryEventForm(forms.Form):
    title = forms.CharField(max_length = 200, widget = AdminTextInputWidget())

Problem

I have a form like this: ``` class DiaryEventForm(forms.Form): title = forms.CharField(max_length = 200) ``` Which generates this HTML: ``` <input id="id_title" type="text" name="title" maxlength="200" /> ``` This shows up as really narrow in the admin (where I've got a custom view using this form). If I have a model defined like this: ``` class DiaryEvent(BaseModel): title = models.CharField(max_length = 200) ``` I get this HTML: ``` <input id="id_title" type="text" class="vTextField" name="title" maxlength="200" /> ``` What's the most elegant way of getting the class `vTextField` added to my form? That class seems to be the way normal text inputs are styled, so I'd like to use that, rather than styling it myself.
