    # The Active Record Helper makes it easier to create forms for records kept in instance variables. The most far-reaching is the +form+
    # method that creates a complete form for all the basic content types of the record (not associations or aggregations, though). This
    # is a great way of making the record quickly available for editing, but likely to prove lackluster for a complicated real-world form.
    # In that case, it's better to use the +input+ method and the specialized +form+ methods in link:classes/ActionView/Helpers/FormHelper.html
    module ActiveModelHelper
      # Returns a default input tag for the type of object returned by the method. For example, if <tt>@post</tt>
      # has an attribute +title+ mapped to a +VARCHAR+ column that holds "Hello World":
      #
      #   input("post", "title")
      #   # => <input id="post_title" name="post[title]" size="30" type="text" value="Hello World" />
      def input(record_name, method, options = {})
        InstanceTag.new(record_name, method, self).to_tag(options)
      end

      # Returns an entire form with all needed input tags for a specified Active Record object. For example, if <tt>@post</tt>
      # has attributes named +title+ of type +VARCHAR+ and +body+ of type +TEXT+ then
      #
      #   form("post")
      #
      # would yield a form like the following (modulus formatting):
      #
      #   <form action='/posts/create' method='post'>
      #     <p>
      #       <label for="post_title">Title</label><br />
      #       <input id="post_title" name="post[title]" size="30" type="text" value="Hello World" />
      #     </p>
      #     <p>
      #       <label for="post_body">Body</label><br />
      #       <textarea cols="40" id="post_body" name="post[body]" rows="20"></textarea>
      #     </p>
      #     <input name="commit" type="submit" value="Create" />
      #   </form>
      #
      # It's possible to specialize the form builder by using a different action name and by supplying another
      # block renderer. For example, if <tt>@entry</tt> has an attribute +message+ of type +VARCHAR+ then
      #
      #   form("entry",
      #     :action => "sign",
      #     :input_block => Proc.new { |record, column|
      #       "#{column.human_name}: #{input(record, column.name)}<br />"
      #   })
      #
      # would yield a form like the following (modulus formatting):
      #
      #   <form action="/entries/sign" method="post">
      #     Message:
      #     <input id="entry_message" name="entry[message]" size="30" type="text" /><br />
      #     <input name="commit" type="submit" value="Sign" />
      #   </form>
      #
      # It's also possible to add additional content to the form by giving it a block, such as:
      #
      #   form("entry", :action => "sign") do |form|
      #     form << content_tag("b", "Department")
      #     form << collection_select("department", "id", @departments, "id", "name")
      #   end
      #
      # The following options are available:
      #
      # * <tt>:action</tt> - The action used when submitting the form (default: +create+ if a new record, otherwise +update+).
      # * <tt>:input_block</tt> - Specialize the output using a different block, see above.
      # * <tt>:method</tt> - The method used when submitting the form (default: +post+).
      # * <tt>:multipart</tt> - Whether to change the enctype of the form to "multipart/form-data", used when uploading a file (default: +false+).
      # * <tt>:submit_value</tt> - The text of the submit button (default: "Create" if a new record, otherwise "Update").

      # Returns a string with a <tt>DIV</tt> containing all of the error messages for the objects located as instance variables by the names
      # given.  If more than one object is specified, the errors for the objects are displayed in the order that the object names are
      # provided.
      #
      # This <tt>DIV</tt> can be tailored by the following options:
      #
      # * <tt>:header_tag</tt> - Used for the header of the error div (default: "h2").
      # * <tt>:id</tt> - The id of the error div (default: "errorExplanation").
      # * <tt>:class</tt> - The class of the error div (default: "errorExplanation").
      # * <tt>:object</tt> - The object (or array of objects) for which to display errors,
      #   if you need to escape the instance variable convention.
      # * <tt>:object_name</tt> - The object name to use in the header, or any text that you prefer.
      #   If <tt>:object_name</tt> is not set, the name of the first object will be used.
      # * <tt>:header_message</tt> - The message in the header of the error div.  Pass +nil+
      #   or an empty string to avoid the header message altogether. (Default: "X errors
      #   prohibited this object from being saved").
      # * <tt>:message</tt> - The explanation message after the header message and before
      #   the error list.  Pass +nil+ or an empty string to avoid the explanation message
      #   altogether. (Default: "There were problems with the following fields:").
      #
      # To specify the display for one object, you simply provide its name as a parameter.
      # For example, for the <tt>@user</tt> model:
      #
      #   error_messages_for 'user'
      #
      # You can also supply an object:
      #
      #   error_messages_for @user
      #
      # This will use the last part of the model name in the presentation. For instance, if
      # this is a MyKlass::User object, this will use "user" as the name in the String. This
      # is taken from MyKlass::User.model_name.human, which can be overridden.
      #
      # To specify more than one object, you simply list them; optionally, you can add an extra <tt>:object_name</tt> parameter, which
      # will be the name used in the header message:
      #
      #   error_messages_for 'user_common', 'user', :object_name => 'user'
      #
      # You can also use a number of objects, which will have the same naming semantics
      # as a single object.
      #
      #   error_messages_for @user, @post
      #
      # If the objects cannot be located as instance variables, you can add an extra <tt>:object</tt> parameter which gives the actual
      # object (or array of objects to use):
      #
      #   error_messages_for 'user', :object => @question.user
      #
      # NOTE: This is a pre-packaged presentation of the errors with embedded strings and a certain HTML structure. If what
      # you need is significantly different from the default presentation, it makes plenty of sense to access the <tt>object.errors</tt>
      # instance yourself and set it up. View the source of this method to see how easy it is.
