Form Helper adding class to the text box - El Forum - 03-24-2011

with the form helper is there a way to send a class into form_text() or can someone show me how to extend the helper to allow it?
when i do a view source i would like to see this
Code:
<input type="text" id="username" name="username" class="inn"/>Form Helper adding class to the text box - El Forum - 03-24-2011

There is no function form_text()
Just do this: form_input('my_name', 'my_value', 'class="inn"');
You can also pass an associative array to the first param. Maybe the third too/instead, not sure.
It's clearly documented in the user guide. You should have received a copy with your CI download. If not, it's online here:
