Re: [fw-mvc] Zend_Form: dl not output unless a display group is created

Thanks for the reply Matthew. It sounds like the problem is with my
implementation of the extended class. Here's my complete form code.

Also, I'm still trying to improve my implementation of the Zend_Form
and related classes, so if you see any needless redundancy or areas of
improvement, please let me know!
