How to display a single HTML::Widget form field in a TT2 template?

Hello all,

Sorry again if this is spelled out somewhere that I'm missing. I'm getting up to speed with HTML::Widget as used in the Catalyst Tutorial online in the Advanced CRUD section.

I would like more control over the layout of my form so I'd like to build a more detailed template than what the examples show. I can't find how to display a certain form field in a TT2 template using the element's name.

Can someone provide a quick example of displaying just a single element in a form by name? I think I'm missing something basic here...

Thanks much,

Ryan

I'm surprised the tutorial still uses HTML::Widget - as it's docs
state, it's no longer being developed - it's effectively been replaced
by HTML::FormFu (which I wrote).
Other form-generation or -processing modules very popular with the
Catalyst community which you'll also see mentioned on this list are
CGI::FormBuilder and Rose::HTML::Form
