Date field does not render, saving object fails with invisible error

[al3x@…]

I'm creating a sample application with a model very similar to the "blog" app powering the Django site. When I go to create a new Entry I do not see the javascript helpers for the pub_date field. I've tried this in Safari and Firefox, checked out the DOM trees and Javascript debuggers in both, and the problem does not seem to be on the client side.

When I go to save an Entry I see "Please correct the error below," but no error below. I'm guessing it's failing on the lack of values for the DateTimeField, although I do have auto_now_add=True.

Usage changed, but was only documented in IRC. Instead of "auto_now_add=True" you should use "default=meta.LazyDate()".

Doesn't add the Javascript, but at least it fills the fields properly.

Using "default=meta.LazyDate()" works, and actually does get the Javascript calendar stuff going for me. It'd be great if this stuff got documented!
