/**
 * CForm represents a form object that contains form input specifications.
 *
 * The main purpose of introducing the abstraction of form objects is to enhance the
 * reusability of forms. In particular, we can divide a form in two parts: those
 * that specify each individual form inputs, and those that decorate the form inputs.
 * A CForm object represents the former part. It relies on the rendering process to
 * accomplish form input decoration. Reusability is mainly achieved in the rendering process.
 * That is, a rendering process can be reused to render different CForm objects.
 *
 * A form can be rendered in different ways. One can call the {@link render} method
 * to get a quick form rendering without writing any HTML code; one can also override
 * {@link render} to render the form in a different layout; and one can use an external
 * view template to render each form element explicitly. In these ways, the {@link render}
 * method can be applied to all kinds of forms and thus achieves maximum reusability;
 * while the external view template keeps maximum flexibility in rendering complex forms.
 *
 * Form input specifications are organized in terms of a form element hierarchy.
 * At the root of the hierarchy, it is the root CForm object. The root form object maintains
 * its children in two collections: {@link elements} and {@link buttons}.
 * The former contains non-button form elements ({@link CFormStringElement},
 * {@link CFormInputElement} and CForm); while the latter mainly contains
 * button elements ({@link CFormButtonElement}). When a CForm object is embedded in the
 * {@link elements} collection, it is called a sub-form which can have its own {@link elements}
 * and {@link buttons} collections and thus form the whole form hierarchy.
 *
 * Sub-forms are mainly used to handle multiple models. For example, in a user
 * registration form, we can have the root form to collect input for the user
 * table while a sub-form to collect input for the profile table. Sub-form is also
 * a good way to partition a lengthy form into shorter ones, even though all inputs
 * may belong to the same model.
 *
 * Form input specifications are given in terms of a configuration array which is
 * used to initialize the property values of a CForm object. The {@link elements} and
 * {@link buttons} properties need special attention as they are the main properties
 * to be configured. To configure {@link elements}, we should give it an array like
 * the following:
 * <pre>
 * 'elements'=>array(
 *     'username'=>array('type'=>'text', 'maxlength'=>80),
 *     'password'=>array('type'=>'password', 'maxlength'=>80),
 * )
 * </pre>
 * The above code specifies two input elements: 'username' and 'password'. Note the model
 * object must have exactly the same attributes 'username' and 'password'. Each element
 * has a type which specifies what kind of input should be used. The rest of the array elements
 * (e.g. 'maxlength') in an input specification are rendered as HTML element attributes
 * when the input field is rendered. The {@link buttons} property is configured similarly.
 *
 * For more details about configuring form elements, please refer to {@link CFormInputElement}
 * and {@link CFormButtonElement}.
 *
 * @property CForm $root The top-level form object.
 * @property CActiveForm $activeFormWidget The active form widget associated with this form.
 * This method will return the active form widget as specified by {@link activeForm}.
 * @property CBaseController $owner The owner of this form. This refers to either a controller or a widget
 * by which the form is created and rendered.
 * @property CModel $model The model associated with this form. If this form does not have a model,
 * it will look for a model in its ancestors.
 * @property array $models The models that are associated with this form or its sub-forms.
 * @property CFormElementCollection $elements The form elements.
 * @property CFormElementCollection $buttons The form elements.
