It's just there because of backwards compatibility. Taking a look at the source (it's always good to have an IDE which shows a list of every included code available) would tell you the following
/** * @deprecated Name changed to 'hidden'. Version 0.9.2. * @see HtmlHelper::hidden() * @param string $fieldName If field is to be used for CRUD, this should be modelName/fieldName. * @param string $value * @param array $htmlAttributes Array of HTML attributes. * @param boolean $return Wheter this method should return a value or output it. This overrides AUTO_OUTPUT. * @return mixed Either string or boolean value, depends on AUTO_OUTPUT and $return. */ All the *Tag methods are more or less deprecated; but e.g. there's no alternative for formTag(), you're supposed to write the <form> thing manually, using the HtmlHelper::url() method (recommendation is in the source as well :)). --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Cake PHP" group.
