Re: How to render newforms dynamically created fields?

Two thoughts on this:
First: you could define an appropriate label for the
dynamic
formfields as you create them in your FormList class (not
shown here)
such as the name of the thing that would be deleted, and
then use the
as_p shortcut to render the whole form rather than trying to
loop:

with a view like:

def form_list_view(request):
    my_form = FormList(queues=[])
    return
render_to_response('formlist.html',{'form':my_form})

then within the <form> tags of template
formlist.html:

{{ form.as_p }}

If you aren't happy with that approach, then you are in for
an ugly
hack, such as a view like:

def form_list_view(request):
    my_form = FormList(queues=[])
    my_fields = ['%s: %s' % (field.label or
name,field.widget.render(name,'')) for name,field in
my_form.fields.items()]
    return
render_to_response('formlist.html',{'my_fields':my_fields})

and template code like:

{% for field in my_fields %}
<p>{}</p>
{% endfor %}

basically hacking out code like in
django.newforms.forms.BaseForm._html_output
