From e130031fd2e1fa6946e56c73efab0c3ac67ebaea Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001
From: Adrian Holovaty <adrian@holovaty.com>
Date: Thu, 30 Nov 2006 17:07:40 +0000
Subject: [PATCH] Fixed #3082 -- newforms: Changed Form as_table() and as_ul()
 not to display verbose names for hidden fields, and to add field-name prefix
 to error messages to avoid user confusion. Also added unit tests.
