Description

An apparently little-known fact about widgets that implement get_value_from_datadict is that they need to be able to accept whatever the widget returns for its "as_hidden" value as input. Otherwise, a form that uses as_hidden to propogate values from previous forms will fail:

>>> a = GetDate({'mydate_month':'4', 'mydate_day':'1', 'mydate_year':'2008'})
>>> print a['mydate'].as_hidden()
<input type="hidden" name="mydate" value="2008-4-1" id="id_mydate" />
>>> b=GetDate({'mydate':'2008-4-1'})
>>> print b.is_valid()
False

The attached diff has a fix for this problem, and a test.
