Provides a number of methods for creating form tags that doesn’t rely on an ActiveRecord object assigned to the template like FormHelper does. Instead, you provide the names and values manually.
NOTE: The HTML options disabled, readonly, and multiple can all be treated as booleans. So specifying :disabled => true will give disabled="disabled".
