Look at the opening form tag Cake creates for you.
Where the information about the method the form
uses came from?  The default method is post.  That hidden field is
only a control field Cake uses to retain this information internally
in the views
and in the rendered html code.

I'm not sure, but I think this additional div is used
for validation messages.  You can omit it this way

echo $form->input('name', array('div' => false));
