In particular, we can divide a form in two parts: those * that specify each individual form inputs, and those that decorate the form inputs. * A CForm object represents the former part. It relies on the rendering process to * accomplish form input decoration. Reusability is mainly achieved in the rendering process. * That is, a rendering process can be reused to render different CForm objects. * * A form can be rendered in different ways. One can call the {@link render} method * to get a quick form rendering without writing any HTML code; one can also override * {@link render} to render the form in a different layout; and one can use an external * view template to render each form element explicitly. In these ways, the {@link render} * method can be applied to all kinds of forms and thus achieves maximum reusability; * while the external view template keeps maximum flexibility in rendering complex forms. * * Form input specifications are organized in terms of a form element hierarchy. * At the root of the hierarchy, it is the root CForm object. The root form object maintains * its children in two collections: {@link elements} and {@link buttons}. * The former contains non-button form elements ({@link CFormStringElement}, * {@link CFormInputElement} and CForm); while the latter mainly contains * button elements ({@link CFormButtonElement}). When a CForm object is embedded in the * {@link elements} collection, it is called a sub-form which can have its own {@link elements} * and {@link buttons} collections and thus form the whole form hierarchy. * * Sub-forms are mainly used to handle multiple models. For example, in a user * registration form, we can have the root form to collect input for the user * table while a sub-form to collect input for the profile table. Sub-form is also * a good way to partition a lengthy form into shorter ones, even though all inputs * may belong to the same model. * * Form input specifications are given in terms of a configuration array which is * used to initialize the property values of a CForm object. The {@link elements} and * {@link buttons} properties need special attention as they are the main properties * to be configured. To configure {@link elements}, we should give it an array like * the following: *
 * 'elements'=>array(
 *     'username'=>array('type'=>'text', 'maxlength'=>80),
 *     'password'=>array('type'=>'password', 'maxlength'=>80),
 * )
 * 
* The above code specifies two input elements: 'username' and 'password'. Note the model * object must have exactly the same attributes 'username' and 'password'. Each element * has a type which specifies what kind of input should be used. The rest of the array elements * (e.g. 'maxlength') in an input specification are rendered as HTML element attributes * when the input field is rendered. The {@link buttons} property is configured similarly. * * If you're going to use AJAX and/or client form validation with the enabled error summary * you have to set {@link $showErrors} property to true. Please refer to it's documentation * for more details. * * For more details about configuring form elements, please refer to {@link CFormInputElement} * and {@link CFormButtonElement}. * * @property CForm $root The top-level form object. * @property CActiveForm $activeFormWidget The active form widget associated with this form. * This method will return the active form widget as specified by {@link activeForm}. * @property CBaseController $owner The owner of this form. This refers to either a controller or a widget * by which the form is created and rendered. * @property CModel $model The model associated with this form. If this form does not have a model, * it will look for a model in its ancestors. * @property array $models The models that are associated with this form or its sub-forms. * @property CFormElementCollection $elements The form elements. * @property CFormElementCollection $buttons The form elements. * * @author Qiang Xue * @package system.web.form * @since 1.1 */ class CForm extends CFormElement implements ArrayAccess { /** * @var string the title for this form.
