INPUT Component

Takes two special attributes value= and requires=.

Args:
    value: used to pass the initial value for the input field.
        value differs from _value because it works for checkboxes, radio,
        textarea and select/option too.
        For a checkbox value should be '' or 'on'.
        For a radio or select/option value should be the _value
        of the checked/selected item.

    requires: should be None, or a validator or a list of validators
        for the value of the field.

Examples:

>>> INPUT(_type='text', _name='name', value='Max').xml()
'<input name="name" type="text" value="Max" />'

>>> INPUT(_type='checkbox', _name='checkbox', value='on').xml()
'<input checked="checked" name="checkbox" type="checkbox" value="on" />'

>>> INPUT(_type='radio', _name='radio', _value='yes', value='yes').xml()
'<input checked="checked" name="radio" type="radio" value="yes" />'

>>> INPUT(_type='radio', _name='radio', _value='no', value='yes').xml()
'<input name="radio" type="radio" value="no" />'
