** Description: Have you ever forgotten certain things
** when trying to make an html form? I know I have.
** This class will save you loads of time, and effort
** when creating forms.
**
** @ All form fields are XHTML Valid
** @ All except Start(), End(), and Input() require
** @ a name, and a value at the minimum.
** @ This script was created with Dreamweaver MX 2004
** @ and touched up with NotePad 2
** @ Code is Copyright (c) 2005 to TimTimTimma
** @ You may ONLY remove the above Copyright if you
** @ visit [url]http://timtimtimma.com[/url] and tell your friends
** @ about it. :-)
