Basic - adding jquery plugin to django form
===

I'm looking for a solution to this basic problem: I'm using a jquery plugin (datepicker) to let users pick a date. How should this be used in the django form? 

A formset doesn't seem the right solution, but neither does making and calling my own widget. Rather than continue to try new options, I'm looking for some direction. Here is a simple test scenario.

models.py
 
        class DateTest(models.Model):
            date_nm = models.CharField(max_length=120)
            fromdate = models.DateTimeField()

forms.py

    def datetest_save_page(request):
        if request.method == 'POST': 
            form = DateTestSaveForm(request.POST)
            if form.is_valid():
                date_nm, dummy = DateTest.objects.get_or_create(
                    date_nm=form.cleaned_data['date_nm']
                )
                fromdate = form.cleaned_data['fromdate']
                return HttpResponseRedirect('datetest_page.html') 
        else:
            form = DateTestSaveForm()
        return render_to_response('datetest_save.html', {
            'form': form,
        })

forms.py

    class DateTestSaveForm(forms.Form):
        date_nm = forms.CharField(
        	label=u'Date Name',
        	max_length=30
        )
        fromdate = forms.DateTimeField()


I have my datepicker set up in my base.html and called in datetest_save.html. It calls and I can pick a date just find, but I don't know how to take the date that I select and stick it into my database. 

Thanks for your help.
