Okay, I missed something in the previous emails. setElementDecorators()
applies to elements set *before* it is called. When the
'elementDecorators' config option is passed, it is run on all elements
created during configuration -- which you would have to do my passing an
'elements' option to the configuration, with all element configurations.
It can be done, but it's harder to read and debug.
In the example you have, you create the form, and *then* create your
individual elements. However, setElementDecorators(), as mentioned,
applies to *existing registered* elements, not ones added after it is
called.
I'd recommend calling setElementDecorators() on your form object *after*
creating all of your elements and registering them with the form object.
The other option is to create your own subclasses of the elements you
use and override their loadDefaultDecorators() methods to set your own
decorators. This would be the most extensible way to do so.
