About

This app is kind of a hack. It uses middleware to rewrite the Response content, adding in CSS and JavaScript where appropriate. This may or may not break anything else you've got.

However, it's pretty easy to install, and once installed, you don't have to do anything special in the admin to see it work.

This is based on Chosen v1.8.2 and only supports jQuery. Last tested with Django 1.11 (it uses new-style middleware) with python 3.6.
