[Fixed]-Django form input weird behavior

I bet your form field ad_interest is a CharField, so by doing {{ form.ad_interest }}, django is already using the default widget for CharField, that’s why without doing anything in your first case you’ve already got a <input .....> html.

However, if you wrap the default widget into another layer of <input...>, the html could obviously show as above. Essicially you were having following html, which is invalid:

<input type="text" class="..." value="<input...>" >

You would see the default widget html by using barely {{ form.ad_interest }} and also, your field renders by itself correctly, right? 🙂

See django doc widget for TextInput.
