 *  \brief An abstract widget that corresponds to an HTML form element.
 *
 * A %WFormWidget may receive focus, can be disabled, and can have a
 * label that acts as proxy for getting focus. It provides signals
 * which reflect changes to its value, or changes to its focus.
 *
 * Form widgets also have built-in support for validation, using
 * setValidator(WValidator *). If the validator provide client-side
 * validation, then an invalid validation state is reflected using the
 * style class <tt>"Wt-invalid"</tt>. All validators provided by %Wt
 * implement client-side validation.
 *
 * On the server-side, use validate() method to validate the content
 * using a validator previously set.
