RE: [fw-mvc] newbie question about Zend Form

I have considered extending the form element class to do the same thing. It didn’t make sense to me to use a decorator to attach markup that isn’t necessarily associated with a particular element… but for now I’m just dealing with it =)

 

If you plan on doing this, I wouldn’t make a new class for every type of markup, but just one that takes a parameter in the constructor. Also remember that for things like an HR, you might consider just using css to render a bottom border where the HR would go.

While that is certainly a way to do it, you may want to take a look at form decorators.  There is a fantastic article about decorators at:  http://devzone.zend.com/article/3450-Decorators-with-Zend_Form

 

hope this helps

Hi!

 

This is probably a stupid newbie question, but please be patient.

I have a very long  form  and I would like to insert some html between elements (an  <hr> for instance).

The way to do this is to Extend Zend_Form_Element for each different peace of HTML I want to add ?

Pear quickform had a html type of element and I just added whatever I wanted. Is there a way to do this width zend_form ?

 

 

 

Thanks.
