Hi,

I would like to do google app engine form validation but I dont know how to do it? I tried like this:

from google.appengine.ext.db import djangoforms
from django import newforms as forms


class SurveyForm(forms.Form):
    occupations_choices = (
    ('1', ""),
    ('2', "Undergraduate student"),
    ('3', "Postgraduate student (MSc)"),
    ('4', "Postgraduate student (PhD)"),
    ('5', "Lab assistant"),
    ('6', "Technician"),
    ('7', "Lecturer"),
    ('8', "Other" )
    )

howreach_choices = (
    ('1', ""),        
    ('2', "Typed the URL directly"),
    ('3', "Site is bookmarked"),
    ('4', "A search engine"),
    ('5', "A link from another site"),
    ('6', "From a book"),
    ('7', "Other")
    )

boxes_choices = (
    ("des", "Website Design"),
    ("svr", "Web Server Administration"),
    ("com", "Electronic Commerce"),
    ("mkt", "Web Marketing/Advertising"),
    ("edu", "Web-Related Education")
    )

name = forms.CharField(label='Name', max_length=100, required=True)
email = forms.EmailField(label='Your Email Address:')
occupations = forms.ChoiceField(choices=occupations_choices, label='What is your occupation?')
howreach = forms.ChoiceField(choices=howreach_choices, label='How did you reach this site?')
# radio buttons 1-5
rating = forms.ChoiceField(choices=range(1,6), label='What is your occupation?', widget=forms.RadioSelect)

boxes = forms.ChoiceField(choices=boxes_choices, label='Are you involved in any of the following? (check all that apply):', widget=forms.CheckboxInput)
comment = forms.CharField(widget=forms.Textarea, required=False)

And I wanted to display it like this:

template_values = {
        'url' : url,
        'url_linktext' : url_linktext,
        'userName' : userName,

'item1' : SurveyForm() }

And I have this error message:

    Do You have any idea how I can do this validation in different case?

    I have tried to do it using this kind of:

    class ItemUserAnswer(djangoforms.ModelForm):
    

    class Meta: model = UserAnswer

    But I dont know how to add extra labels to this form and it is displayed in one line. Do You have any suggestions?

    Thanks a lot as it making me crazy why it is still not working:/
