FormUrl
^^^^^^^

The ``FormUrl`` view helper can be used to render a ``<input type="url">`` HTML
form input. It is meant to work with the :ref:`Zend\\Form\\Element\\Url <zend.form.element.url>`
element, which provides a default input specification with an URL validator.

``FormUrl`` extends from :ref:`Zend\\Form\\View\\Helper\\FormInput <zend.form.view.helper.form-input.methods>`.
