METHODS

       LedgerSMB::Template::Elements->new()
           Returns a blessed hashref from this namespace.

       $object->generate_hidden_elements([...]);
           Builds data structure for hidden form fields.  Values from the $form object are run
           through $form->quote.

           Sample data structure added to $form->hidden_elements():

            $self->{form_elements}{hidden_elements} = [{ type => 'hidden', name => 'foo', value => 'bar'... } ...]

           A reference to this structure is returned as well.

       $form->generate_radio_elements($radios);
           Roll out a single radios hash to an array of radio elements, using the values array as
           index.

           Sample data structure added to $form->generate_radio_elements($radios):

           my $radios = {
               name => 'radio_name',
               class => 'radio',
               attributes => { foo => 'bar' },
               values => [ '1', '2', '3'],
               labels => [ 'Label one', '', 'Label three'],
               default_value => '2', };

       $form->generate_checkbox_elements($checkboxes);
           Roll out a single checkboxes hash to an array of checkbox elements, using the names
           array as index.  Note that if no 'values' array is passed, value for all checkboxes
           default to 1.

           Sample data structure added to $form->generate_checkbox_elements($checkboxes):

           my $checkboxes = {
               names => [
                   'checkbox_name1',
                   'checkbox_name2',
                   'checkbox_name3',
               ],
               class => 'checkbox',
               attributes => { foo => 'bar' },
               values => [ '4', '', '3'],
               labels => [ 'Label one', '', 'Label three'],
               default_values => [ 'checkbox_name1'],

           };
