NAME

       Jifty::Web::Form - Tools for rendering and dealing with HTML forms

METHODS

   new ARGS
       Creates a new Jifty::Web::Form.  Arguments:

       id  The HTML id attribute given to the form.  This is aliased to name.  That is, name and
           id are always equal and changing one changes the other.

       class
           The HTML class attribute given to the form.

       name
           The name given to the form.  This is mostly for naming specific forms for testing.

       call
           All buttons in this form will act as continuation calls for the given continuation id.

       disable_autocomplete
           Disable browser autocomplete for this form.  Jifty autocomplete will still work.

   PRIVATE _init
       Reinitialize this form.

       name
           The form name

       call
           The continuation id to call

   actions
       Returns a reference to a hash of Jifty::Action objects in this form keyed by moniker.

       If you want to add actions to this form, use "add_action"

   name [VALUE]
       Gets or sets the HTML name given to the form element.

   call [CONTID]
       Gets or sets the continuation ID that will be called for this form.

   is_open [BOOL]
       This accessor returns true if Jifty is currently in the middle of rendering a form (if
       it's printed a <form> but not yet printed a </form> tag.) Use this in your components to
       decide whether to open a form or not if you might be called from a template that opened
       the form for you.

   add_action PARAMHASH
       Calls "new_action" in Jifty::Web with the paramhash given, and adds it to the form.

   register_action ACTION
       Adds "ACTION" as an action for this form. Called so that actions' form fields can register
       the action against the form they're being used in.

   has_action MONIKER
       If this form has an action whose moniker is "MONIKER", returns it. Otherwise returns
       undef.

   start
       Renders the opening form tag.

   submit MESSAGE, [PARAMETERS]
       Renders a submit button with the text MESSAGE on it (which will be HTML escaped).  Returns
       the empty string (for ease of use in interpolation).  Any extra PARAMETERS are passed to
       Jifty::Web::Form::Field::Clickable's constructor.

   return MESSAGE, [PARAMETERS]
       Renders a return button with the text MESSAGE on it (which will be HTML escaped).  Returns
       the empty string (for ease of use in interpolation).  Any extra PARAMETERS are passed to
       Jifty::Web::Form::Field::Button's constructor.

   end
       Renders the closing form tag (including rendering errors for and registering all of the
       actions)  After doing this, it resets its internal state such that "start" may be called
       again.

   print_action_registration MONIKER
       Print out the action registration goo for this action _right now_, unless we've already
       done so.

   next_page PARAMHASH
       Set the page this form should go to on success.  This simply creates a
       Jifty::Action::Redirect action; any parameters in the "PARAMHASH" are passed as arguments
       to the Jifty::Action::Redirect action.

       Returns an empty string so it can be included in forms

   DESTROY
       Checks to ensure that forms that were opened were actually closed, which is when actions
       are registered.
