{$head}
{/foreach}{/if}
{* Generate for every field in the form.
* $FormData contains more than just form fields, this other stuff is ignored.
* Form fields are arrays that contain the following elements of interest:
* id Always exists, generated by QF but can be set by the 'id' element
* of the 3rd argument to addElement().
* name This is the field name that will be used in $_GET/$_POST.
* This is usually the same as $key set by {foreach}, but see group below.
* label This some text that should be used to tell the user what the field is for,
* eg 'Age'. This is set by 'label' element of the 4th argument to addElement()
* or with the setLabel() method. It might not be set at all.
* html The html for the input field, you generate this.
* type text, image, textarea, ... If you were clever you could look at this.
* Note that this is not set for: fieldset or group.
* attribs An array of field attributes, some generated by QuickForm2 others
* that were given to addElement().
* error This will be present if there is a validation error associated with this field.
* If the option group_errors is set this will not be generated, any error
* will be in a pseudo field called 'errors', this is what happens in this example.
* value The element value.
* elements If a fieldset or group, the contained elements.
* If a checkbox an array keyed by fieldname index (eg '0' from 'vegetable[0]')
* value is the form field.
* If a radio button an array keyed by the field 'value' (the 'value' from the attributes)
* value is the form field.
*
* Often you will generate the fields in the form and place them where you want them,
* to do this use the fields, eg: {$FormData.Age.html}
*
* What is going on here is complicated because it searches $FormData, it ignores anything
* that is not an input field (is_array($Field) && $Field.id != '').
* Look towards the bottom of the loop for ''Normal case''.
*
* The rest of this deals with a 'group' within a 'group' this is more complicated,
* these appear to smarty as an array, loop through it in the same way as the outer loop
* works, looking for arrays with a member 'id'. Thus you end up with 3 nested loops.
*
* The {foreach gets the key, more by way of interest than need.
*
* If $FormData.debug is true then generate some tracing.
*
* Not everything has a label, so generate to keep the columns aligned.
*
* This generates far too many blank lines in the HTML - but this is demo code!
