django form: how to check out checkbox state in template

Question

I have a form with checkboxes that works fine, but when the user submits the form with errors and my checkbox is checked I need to change div class which holds the checkbox. So

Answer 1

While, first you should use BooleanField in your model, not the CharField. Then, there are two accesses:

• or, use {% if form.yourFiled.value %} checked {%endif%}
