How do I hide the field label for a HiddenInput widget in Django Admin?

Question

I\'ve got a bit of Django form code that looks like this:

class GalleryAdminForm(forms.ModelForm):
    auto_id=False
    order = forms.CharField(widget=forms

If you're using JQuery this should do the trick:

Your form

TO_HIDE_ATTRS = {'class': 'hidden'}
class GalleryAdminForm(forms.ModelForm):
    auto_id=False
    order = forms.CharField(widget=forms.TextInput(attrs=TO_HIDE_ATTRS))

Javascript code to add to your template

$(document).ready(function(){
    $('tr:has(.hidden)').hide();
});

That works if you're rendering your form as a table. If you want to make it work with any kind of form rendering you can do as follows:

$(document).ready(function(){
    $('{{ form_field_container }}:has(.hidden)').hide();
});

And add form_field_container to your template context. An example:

If you render your form like this:

    

        {{ field.label_tag }} {{ field }}
    

Your context must include:

'form_field_container': 'span'

You get the idea...
