Look at the opening form tag Cake creates for you.
Where the information about the method the form
uses came from? The default method is post. That hidden field is
only a control field Cake uses to retain this information internally
in the views
and in the rendered html code.

I'm not sure, but I think this additional div is used
for validation messages. You can omit it this way
echo $form->input('name', array('div' => false));
Best regards.

Strange form helper output I can't understand: divs after input
Please help me, I am a beginner.
I am using the form helper to create a form like this:
echo $form->create('Category');
echo $form->input('name');
echo $form->input('description', array('rows' => '3'));
echo $form->end('Save Category');
This works fine, but there are 2 parts of the html which bother me:
Name
Description
1st Question: What is with the very first input before the opening of
the form? I don't think it is hurting, but why is it there?
2nd question: You can see that the div which is supposed to be
wrapping the input is actually output after the input, and is empty.
eg:
This is a problem for me because I would like to use this to style the
label and input field. I can't understand what I did wrong. Has this
happened to anyone before? How can I make it wrap the input like this
I checked in /cake/version.txt and it says I am using 1.2.6
Any help would make me very happy. Thanks in advance.
Phil
