Methods summary

`public`	# `__construct( FormField::$name $name, FormField::$title $title = null, FormField::$value $value = "", FormField::$form $maxLength = null, TextField::$maxLength $form = null )` Returns an input field, class="text" and type="text" with an optional maxlength Returns an input field, class="text" and type="text" with an optional maxlength Parameters `$name` name The internal field name, passed to forms. `$title` title The field label. `$value` value The value of the field. `$maxLength` form Reference to the container form `$form` maxLength The Maximum length of the attribute Overrides `FormField::__construct`
`public`	# `setMaxLength( Int $length )` Parameters `$length` Int $length
`public Int`	# `getMaxLength( )` Returns `Int` Int
`public`	# `Field( )` Returns the form field - used by templates. Although FieldHolder is generally what is inserted into templates, all of the field holder templates make use of $Field. It's expected that FieldHolder will give you the "complete" representation of the field on the form, whereas Field will give you the core editing widget, such as an input tag. Returns the form field - used by templates. Although FieldHolder is generally what is inserted into templates, all of the field holder templates make use of $Field. It's expected that FieldHolder will give you the "complete" representation of the field on the form, whereas Field will give you the core editing widget, such as an input tag. Our base FormField class just returns a span containing the value. This should be overridden! Overrides `FormField::Field`
