is there any best practices document on Form Helper?

Thanks Beer. Here is where I am. I created a beautiful form via JotForms and downloaded it. I then changed it from a .html file to a .php file and am able to load it via load_view(). So far so good. My plan is to grab the $_POST values via CI/PHP from the submitted form. I am not quite there yet. I need to modify some of the fields in the form, prior to the user viewing it. I am not sure how to do this.

thx again for your comment.
