| Subject: | Documentation for push_input method |
Additional fields can get added to forms through JavaScript, but its nice to use the form as parsed as a starting point. I found this post: http://www.perlmonks.org/?node_id=600562 which was exactly what I needed. It would be nice if this were made into a documented feature, so attached is a patch to do exactly that.

+This method adds additional inputs to the form.
+The first argument is the type of input (e.g. hidden, option, etc.).
+The second argument is a reference to a hash of the input attributes.
+The third argument is optional, and will issue warnings about unknown input types.
+
+Example:
+
+ push_input( 'hidden', {
+ name => 'NewFormElement',
+ id => 'NewFormElementId',
+ value => 'some value',
+ });
