# HTML::Prototype::Helper::Tag(3pm)

Defines a tag object needed by HTML::Prototype

## NAME

HTML::Prototype::Helper::Tag - Defines a tag object needed by HTML::Prototype

## SYNOPSIS

```
        use HTML::Prototype::Helper;
```

## DESCRIPTION

Defines a tag object needed by HTML::Prototype

### REMARKS

Until version 1.43, the internal function *$self-*\_tag\> used *$tag-*as\_XML\> as its return value. By now, it will use *$tag-*as\_HTML( `$entities` )\> to invokee *HTML::Entities::encode\_entities*. This behaviour can be overridden by setting *$HTML::Prototype::Helper::Tag::USE\_ASXML\_FOR\_TAG* to 1.

### METHODS

- HTML::Prototype::Helper::Tag-\>new( $object\_name, $method\_name, $template\_object, $local\_binding, $object )

  - $tag-\>object\_name( \[$object\_name\] )

  - $tag-\>method\_name( \[$method\_name\] )

  - $tag-\>template\_object( \[$template\_object\] )

  - $tag-\>local\_binding( \[$local\_binding\] )

  - $tag-\>object( \[$object\] )

  - $tag-\>value( )

  - $tag-\>value\_before\_type\_cast( )

  - $tag-\>to\_input\_field\_tag( $field\_type, \\%options )
