Rails - Dec 2004 - ActiveRecordHelper

I have an edit form created with this:
<%= form ''address'', :action =>
''update'' %>

But now I want a more customized form, I need to change the label
names.
Do I have to type this stuff manualy:

<form action="/address/update" method="post">
<input id="address_id" name="address[id]"
type="hidden"
    value="<%= @address.id %>" />
...
<input type="submit" value="Update" />
</form>

Or is there a helper function for this?
Is there maybe also a helper function for creating labels?

Thanks,

Roeland

Hieraki source should have some good examples :

The beauty about the form helpers is that if the field doesn''t
validate they will be wrapped in a fieldWithErrors div. So with a bit
CSS you can easily give them a red highlight or add a little icon.
