Description
===========

Use ``create_param_inputs`` to create data-aware visual controls (inputs, cheboxes) 
for editing of report parameters.

This method is usually used in ``on_param_form_created`` events triggered by
:doc:`create_param_form <m_create_param_form>`
method, that, usually, is called by then
:doc:`print <m_print>` 
method.

The following parameters are passed to the method:

* ``container`` - an JQuery object that will contain visual controls

* ``options`` - options that specify how controls are displayed

The ``options`` parameter is an object that may have following attributes:

* ``params`` - a list of param names. If specified, a visual control will be 
  created for each param whose name is in this list, if not specified 
  (the default) then control will be created for all visible params specified in the 
  Administrator

* ``col_count`` - the number of columns that will be created for visual controls, 
  the default value is 1
  
* ``label_on_top``: the default value is false. If this value is false, the 
  labels are placed to the left of controls, otherwise the are created above the
  controls
  
* ``tabindex`` - if tabindex is specified, it will the tabindex of the first 
  visual control, tabindex of all subsequent controls will be increased by 1.
  
* ``autocomplete`` - the default value is false. If this attribute is set to 
  true, the autocomplete attribute of controls is set to "on"   

Before creating controls an application empties a container.
