Re: [fw-mvc] allow duplicate options in Zend_Form_Select

Bummer... We could really use some flexibilities here.  Anyhow, for now what's the default view helper being used for displaying form select element?

I'm trying to add some options with the same value but different texts   to a Zend_Form_Select element, looks like Zend_Form_Select by default   removes all duplicate options.  Is there anyway to get around this?     

 Not really. Both the view helper as well as the form element require you to pass an associative array of key/value pairs to create the options -- and PHP's associative arrays require unique keys. The only way to get around it would be to create a custom view helper or decorator that generates the markup.
