Help with form helpers

[eluser]NachoF[/eluser]
Is there a way I can change to way form helpers behave?? I understand they can receive parameters for extra attributes but the only extra functionality I want is having them set the id of the form element to be the same as the name attribute

so for example I want

Code:

form_input("login")

to output

Code:

<input type="text" name="login" id="login" value=""  />

You can extend helpers.

Copy the functions you want to override and add code to add the id tag.
