                f:input (DEPRECATED)
Description
 f:input  renders an appropriate input for a property, for example an 
<input type="text"> element for a  
String  property or a 
<select> for an enum.
Since version 1.5 you can specify where the widget's template is located with the  
widget  attribute.
Using  f:input  directly will only be necessary for very specialized cases, usually it will be invoked via  f:field .
Attributes
 f:input  accepts exactly the same attributes as the  
f:field  tag (except for  
wrapper  and  
templates  attributes).
Deprecated since version 1.5
Use  
f:widget  tag instead
