Custom CSS class in Form with template tag filter

A lot of times we need to insert a specific **CSS class** into a Form instance for it to be rendered in the template. The current method is to specify the CSS class in the Python code through the form field widget. But it would be easier for the designer to be able to specify the CSS class in the template directly. For example rather than doing this in your Python code: 'name = forms.CharField(widget=forms.TextInput(attrs={'class':'special'}))` You can do this in your template: `{{ form.name|cssclass:"special"}}` This template filter only works with Form Field instance.
