Try the following:

<?php echo $form->create('User', array('url' => array('action' => 'register'))); ?>
<?php echo $form->input('User.name', array('type'=>'text')); ?>
<?php echo $form->end(); ?>

That should do it. Note that "action=>register" array is wrapped in another array with "url=>". Second param of $form->create() is an array of options, not just an URL array, check the good book for other options if you need them.

Also, input type is text, not textbox. Since you have the action "register" there, I'm assuming it's a user registration form. So, instead of "Form" as param, use your user model name, i.e. probably "User".
