Title Body

I decided to learn Django Forms. For a while now, I have been using HTML forms because it's hard for me to come to terms with Django Forms. How could I populate initial data to Django Forms? Example: Consider if these models are populated. Contain data. models.py class Game(models.Model): title = models.CharField() genre = models.CharField() so if I have view.py game_list = Game.objects.all() return render_to_response('template',locals()) so in template.html , I could just: {% for game in game_list %} <p> game.title <p> <br /> <p> game.genre <p> If I want to populate initial data when using HTML forms , this is what I usually do: {% for game in game_list %} <form action= '/add/' method='POST'> <input="text" name="title" value="{{game.title}}" /> <input="text" name="genre" value="{{game.genre}}" /> <input type="submit" /> How can I do this in Django Forms? From what I've seen by reading articles online, they do this by overriding using forms.__init__ : class Anyforms(forms.Form): super(Anyforms, self).__init__(*args,**kwargs) I can't get a hold of how to populate using super . What data do forms get during runtime and how? Any good links that I could read to get me up and running on wrangling Django Forms? Is this <input="text" name="title" value="{{game.title}}" /> <input="text" name="genre" value="{{game.genre}}" /> equivalent to this? data = {'title':'{{game.title}}','genre':'{{game.genre}}'} form(data) Are the variables going to be replaced in template?
