Hi Ksenia,

For the empty SelectWidget you might be able to just pass in one option
like:
opts = [ ('None', '', 'None') ]
Not sure if that would work for what you want.  I'd be interested to see
some of your form2/javascript forms down the road... something I've been
meaning to investigate.

I've also ran into the issue of ButtonWidget not being in form2/__init__.py
It seems like it should be included to me too.   I import this manually
during the declaration of my custom defaultForm(Form) subclass that I use to
customize form nuances globally (like custom css and widget rendering).
I also customized the 'add' function as follows:

    def add(self, widget_class, name, *args, **kwargs):
        """
        Custom add function to deal with buttons
        """

        if self._names.has_key(name):
            raise ValueError, "form already has '%s' widget" % name
        widget = widget_class(name, *args, **kwargs)
        self._names[name] = widget
        if isinstance(widget, SubmitWidget):
            self.submit_widgets.append(widget) # will be rendered at end
        elif isinstance(widget, ButtonWidget):
            self.submit_widgets.append(widget) # will be rendered at end
        elif isinstance(widget, HiddenWidget):
            self.hidden_widgets.append(widget) # will be render at beginning
        else:
            self.widgets.append(widget)
        return widget

(I needed to get the widget back at some point, hence the return)  Not sure
if that is something that should be included by default.

Hope that helps...

-Charles.
