Re: [fw-mvc] Forms and HTML

Thomas,

You would either have to create a decorator or you can echo out all the
form elements in the view with the label turned off.

An example with the label decorator turned off:
$this->email
->setRequired(true)
->addFilter('StripTags')
->addValidator('EmailAddress')
->*removeDecorator('Label');*

*View:*
<table>
<tr>
<td>YOUR LABEL HERE</td>
<td><?php echo $this->form->email?></td>
</tr>
</table>

You could also just add a class to those elements and do your styling in
CSS.

$this->email
->setOptions(array('class' =>
'CLASS_NAME_HERE'))
->setRequired(true)
->addFilter('StripTags')
->addValidator('EmailAddress')
->removeDecorator('Label');
