Hi

Ive extended the base HtmlHelper (ExtendedHtmlHelper) and use that instead of the HtmlHelper in AppView.

$this-\>loadHelper(‘Html’, [‘className’ =\> ‘ExtendedHtml’]);

So far so good. But I would liek to use ExtendedHtmlHelper in a (fully new) custom hekper which extends only Helper:

```
public $helpers = [
    'Form',
    'Html' => ['className' => 'ExtendedHtml'],
    'Number'
];

```

but this doesnt work at all. Is this even possible?

Thanks,  
Frank
