module ActionView
  module Helpers
    # Provides a number of methods for creating form tags that doesn't rely on an Active Record object assigned to the template like
    # FormHelper does. Instead, you provide the names and values manually.
    #
    # NOTE: The HTML options <tt>disabled</tt>, <tt>readonly</tt>, and <tt>multiple</tt> can all be treated as booleans. So specifying 
    # <tt>:disabled => true</tt> will give <tt>disabled="disabled"</tt>.
    module FormTagHelper
      # Starts a form tag that points the action to an url configured with <tt>url_for_options</tt> just like
      # ActionController::Base#url_for. The method for the form defaults to POST.
      #
      # ==== Options
      # * <tt>:multipart</tt> - If set to true, the enctype is set to "multipart/form-data".
      # * <tt>:method</tt> - The method to use when submitting the form, usually either "get" or "post".
      #   If "put", "delete", or another verb is used, a hidden input with name <tt>_method</tt>
      #   is added to simulate the verb over post.
      # * A list of parameters to feed to the URL the form will be posted to.
      #
      # ==== Examples
      #   form_tag('/posts')                      
      #   # => <form action="/posts" method="post">
      #
      #   form_tag('/posts/1', :method => :put)   
      #   # => <form action="/posts/1" method="put">
      #
      #   form_tag('/upload', :multipart => true) 
      #   # => <form action="/upload" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">
      # 
      #   <% form_tag '/posts' do -%>
      #     <div><%= submit_tag 'Save' %></div>
      #   <% end -%>
      #   # => <form action="/posts" method="post"><div><input type="submit" name="submit" value="Save" /></div></form>

      # Creates a dropdown selection box, or if the <tt>:multiple</tt> option is set to true, a multiple
      # choice selection box.
      #
      # Helpers::FormOptions can be used to create common select boxes such as countries, time zones, or
      # associated records. <tt>option_tags</tt> is a string containing the option tags for the select box.
      #
      # ==== Options
      # * <tt>:multiple</tt> - If set to true the selection will allow multiple choices.
      # * <tt>:disabled</tt> - If set to true, the user will not be able to use this input.
      # * Any other key creates standard HTML attributes for the tag.
