[Templates] TT and (sticky) form handling

[Jeff Anderson]

You can still use CGI to keep form stickieness:

[% USE CGI %]
[% CGI.start_form  %]
login:
   [% CGI.textfield({Name => 'login' Value =>
params.login Size => 10 Maxlength => 10}) %]<br/>

password:
   [% CGI.password_field({Name => 'password'
Value => params.password Size => 10 Maxlength =>
10}) %]<br/>

   [% CGI.submit({Name => 'cm' Value => 'login'
Class => 'grid'}) %]
</form>

I may be wrong, but last time i checked,
CGI.end_form was a bit ornery, so i just used a
end form tag verbatim.

Hope this helps,
jeffa
