    # Provides a set of methods for working with forms and especially forms related to objects assigned to the template.
    # The following is an example of a complete form for a person object that works for both creates and updates built
    # with all the form helpers. The <tt>@person</tt> object was assigned by an action on the controller:
    #   <form action="save_person" method="post">
    #     Name:
    #     <%= text_field "person", "name", "size" => 20 %>
    #
    #     Password:
    #     <%= password_field "person", "password", "maxsize" => 20 %>
    #
    #     Single?:
    #     <%= check_box "person", "single" %>
    #
    #     Description:
    #     <%= text_area "person", "description", "cols" => 20 %>
    #
    #     <input type="submit" value="Save">
    #   </form>
    #
    # ...is compiled to:
    #
    #   <form action="save_person" method="post">
    #     Name:
    #     <input type="text" id="person_name" name="person[name]"
    #       size="20" value="<%= @person.name %>" />
    #
    #     Password:
    #     <input type="password" id="person_password" name="person[password]"
    #       size="20" maxsize="20" value="<%= @person.password %>" />
    #
    #     Single?:
    #     <input type="checkbox" id="person_single" name="person[single] value="1" />
    #
    #     Description:
    #     <textarea cols="20" rows="40" id="person_description" name="person[description]">
    #       <%= @person.description %>
    #     </textarea>
    #
    #     <input type="submit" value="Save">
    #   </form>
    #
    # If the object name contains square brackets the id for the object will be inserted. Example:
    #
    #   <%= textfield "person[]", "name" %> 
    # 
    # ...becomes:
    #
    #   <input type="text" id="person_<%= @person.id %>_name" name="person[<%= @person.id %>][name]" value="<%= @person.name %>" />
    #
    # If the helper is being used to generate a repetitive sequence of similar form elements, for example in a partial
    # used by render_collection_of_partials, the "index" option may come in handy. Example:
    #
    #   <%= text_field "person", "name", "index" => 1 %>
    #
    # becomes
    #
    #   <input type="text" id="person_1_name" name="person[1][name]" value="<%= @person.name %>" />
    #
    # There's also methods for helping to build form tags in link:classes/ActionView/Helpers/FormOptionsHelper.html,
    # link:classes/ActionView/Helpers/DateHelper.html, and link:classes/ActionView/Helpers/ActiveRecordHelper.html

      # Returns an input tag of the "text" type tailored for accessing a specified attribute (identified by +method+) on an object
      # assigned to the template (identified by +object+). Additional options on the input tag can be passed as a
      # hash with +options+.
      #
      # Examples (call, result):
      #   text_field("post", "title", "size" => 20)
      #     <input type="text" id="post_title" name="post[title]" size="20" value="#{@post.title}" />

      # Returns a textarea opening and closing tag set tailored for accessing a specified attribute (identified by +method+)
      # on an object assigned to the template (identified by +object+). Additional options on the input tag can be passed as a
      # hash with +options+.
      #
      # Example (call, result):
      #   text_area("post", "body", "cols" => 20, "rows" => 40)
      #     <textarea cols="20" rows="40" id="post_body" name="post[body]">

      # Returns a checkbox tag tailored for accessing a specified attribute (identified by +method+) on an object
      # assigned to the template (identified by +object+). It's intended that +method+ returns an integer and if that
      # integer is above zero, then the checkbox is checked. Additional options on the input tag can be passed as a
      # hash with +options+. The +checked_value+ defaults to 1 while the default +unchecked_value+
      # is set to 0 which is convenient for boolean values. Usually unchecked checkboxes don't post anything.
      # We work around this problem by adding a hidden value with the same name as the checkbox.
      #
      # Example (call, result). Imagine that @post.validated? returns 1:
      #   check_box("post", "validated")
      #     <input type="checkbox" id="post_validate" name="post[validated] value="1" checked="checked" />
      #     <input name="post[validated]" type="hidden" value="0" />
      #
      # Example (call, result). Imagine that @puppy.gooddog returns no:
      #   check_box("puppy", "gooddog", {}, "yes", "no")
      #     <input type="checkbox" id="puppy_gooddog" name="puppy[gooddog] value="yes" />

      # Returns a radio button tag for accessing a specified attribute (identified by +method+) on an object
      # assigned to the template (identified by +object+). If the current value of +method+ is +tag_value+ the
      # radio button will be checked. Additional options on the input tag can be passed as a
      # hash with +options+.
      # Example (call, result). Imagine that @post.category returns "rails":
      #   radio_button("post", "category", "rails")
      #   radio_button("post", "category", "java")
      #     <input type="radio" id="post_category" name="post[category] value="rails" checked="checked" />
