# Form

## Concept

The form itself is not really a widget, but we include its reference documentation here nonetheless.

## Definition

    <fd:form id="..." state="...">
      <fd:widgets>
        [...]
      </fd:widgets>
      <fd:validation>
         [...]
      </fd:validation>
      <fd:on-create>
         [...]
      </fd:on-create>
      <fd:attributes>
        <fd:attribute name="..." value="..."/>
      </fd:attributes>
    </fd:form>

The widgets contained by the form are defined inside the fd:widgets element. For an explanation of the other elements and attributes, see the field widget. Specifying an id for the form is optional.

## Template

A form is inserted into a template by use of the ft:form-template tag:

    <ft:form-template>
      [...]
    </ft:form-template>

You can add the usual HTML form attributes such as action and method on the ft:form-tempate, they will be replicated in the output.
