Ah thanks for the reply - that does sound like a good way to do this. I guess I was hoping there would be a general way to do something like this even for other fields (for example, if I later wanted to add a field for a captcha, which would again have no corresponding field in the model). It just seems like this is so close to working and the other thread I linked to led me to believe that it is working - I just can't quite figure out how. If someone can confirm for me though that currently there is no support for having fields in the view that do not match fields in the model in the type of use case that I describe, that would be great - otherwise I will probably just try to look through the weblocks code.
