Formset ID's don't seem to work in a formset.

Hi!

I'm calling this: {% field f.ends class="datepicker" %} inside a formset. It outputs the multiple fields, but the ID's are all identical to the first form element. That said, the name= attribute is outputting correctly, so something fishy is going on.

Any ideas?

Absolutely love your plugin. A designer's dream.

Hi, I noticed the same thing. I don't see this same behavior when using the field tag alone though, only when I use
the macros tag from http://djangosnippets.org/snippets/363/

I have found that I can fix the problem in the Field.render method by using .copy() on the attrs. I don't know why the extra_attrs are getting cached with the different Field instances or how that is happening. I think the real fix might be in the macros tag which I'm looking into now.

def render(self, context):
    field = template.resolve_variable(self.field_var, context)
    # Caling bound_field.as_widget() returns the HTML, but we need to 
    # intercept this to manipulate the attributes - so we have to 
    # duplicate the logic from as_widget here.
    widget = field.field.widget
    attrs = self.extra_attrs or {}
    attrs = attrs.copy() # <--------------------------- HERE
    auto_id = field.auto_id
    if auto_id and 'id' not in attrs and 'id' not in widget.attrs:
        attrs['id'] = auto_id
    if not field.form.is_bound:
        data = field.form.initial.get(field.name, field.field.initial)
        if callable(data):
            data = data()
    else:
        data = field.data
    html = widget.render(field.html_name, data, attrs=attrs)
    # Finally, if we're NOT in xhtml mode ensure no '/>'
    doctype = getattr(context, '_doctype', 'xhtml1')
    if doctype in html_doctypes:
        html = xhtml_end_re.sub('>', html)

    return html

Although, maybe this is a problem with formsets as well, not just the macro tag:

And loops?
