[html-formfu] Subforms show up as text fields

[Leanan Sidhe]

Hrm.  I'm beginning to wonder if my stuff shouldn't work the way I have it.

My problem was that my form is spread across a bunch of tabs.  I'm using
jquery's tab plugin for a lot of it, and am loading a bunch of TT templates
to build it up.  My problem was I didn't want to do all the bulding of the
various divs and such I needed for the tabs, so I have something like:

#some base TT file

<form method=3D"post" action=3D"" >
  <div id=3D"tab_one">
    [% PROCESS 'MyAction/tab_one.tt2' %]
  </div>
    ..... More divs for more tabs
</form>


And then in my tab_one.tt2, I have:

[% FOREACH field =3D form.get_fields %]
  [% NEXT IF field.parent.nested_name !=3D 'tab_one' %]
  [% field.render %]
[% END %]

Except for my current issue with repeatables, it all seems to be working as
I would expect it to.  I tried replacing my main template with just [% form
%] instead of all the sub templates that go through the fields / elements
and render them individually if they are in the proper nested, and it all
works as it has been.

I notice that your sub configs don't have the '---' line... out of
curiosity, what happens if you just add that line to the very beginning
(leave all else as it is)?
