Adding buttons to submit line in a Admin page

**Attention: this snippet depends on jQuery library to works** The Admin templates hierarchy does not allow you change the submit line (that buttons bar in the footer of the change view of a model class). This code shows how to resolve this, using a simple javascript trick. You can read the code and implement using your favorite javascript library (instead of jQuery) or pure JavaScript. This example regards to User Profile, a common used model class that adds custom fields to a user in the authentication system.

Clear FileField/ImageField files in the Admin

The widget for FileField and ImageField has a problem: it doesn't supports clear its value and it doesn't delete the old file when you replace it for a new one. This is a solution for this. It is just for Admin, but you can make changes to be compatible with common forms. The jQuery code will put an **<input type="checkbox">** tag next to every **<input type="file">** and user can check it to clear the field value. When a user just replace the current file for a new one, the old file will be deleted.
