I have to agree, form helper sometimes just doesn't bring enough to
the table to make it worthwhile.
If you really insist on using the form helper you can modify the
template it uses for field names. so instead of doing data[%s][%s],
you can just do %s.
I would either (a) create your own helper and use a similar function
function input($name=null,$options=array())
{
if($name != null)
{
echo '<input type="text" name="' . $name . '" ';
foreach($options as $option=>$value)
{
echo "{$option}=\"{$value}\" ";
}
echo '>';
}
}
$myHelper->input('name',array('style'=>'myStyle', 'size'=>'20');
Or, just modify cakes to suit your needs :0
