Form basics
Each form needs to contain:
- name - And that name must be valid (validity test: could you give a PHP function the name?)
Each form can contain:
- method - Can be empty or 'post' as each form will pass the session key and we can't do that via 'get'
- action - Can be empty (defaults to self) or page url
- elements - An array of form elements to display (see Elements)
