I have created a list with 20 columns and I have this issue: when I click to add a new item the newform.aspx page that open is empty/blank (no control shown at all)!

I never had this problem before. Any ideas what could be causing this?

The forms will be rendered based on the contenttype. So your columns have to be added in this contenttype. Simply write a contenttype for your table. In the List you set EnableContentTypes="TRUE" and add 

<ContentTypes>
  <ContentTypeRef ID="yourid" />
</ContentTypes>

Now your forms should work correctly.

Hi there Maikm88. No idea what you mean? This is a default document lib and a list.All i did after creating the lib and the list is to add it to a page via webpart. Can yu elaborate more on this? – naijacoder Sep 21 '12 at 6:41
Hi Maikim88, The only way i fixed this was to reset the masterpage and re applied it. Didn't get to really understand what you posted earlier.Can you still elaborate on that. – naijacoder Sep 25 '12 at 7:30
I thought you created the Columns by yourself via ListTemplate. Here you must create a ContentType to ensure the Forms working correctly. (I had this problem) – Maikm88 Oct 1 '12 at 8:54
