a FORM is container for INPUT, TEXTAREA, SELECT and other helpers

form has one important method:

   form.accepts(request.vars, session)

if form is accepted (and all validators pass) form.vars contains the accepted vars, otherwise form.errors contains the errors. in case of errors the form is modified to present the errors to the user.
