Correct; elementDecorators is intercepted in setOptions(), and executed late. The assumption is that if elementDecorators is in your configuration, you want the setting to apply to all elements. Additionally, I'm suspecting Zend_Config_Xml is going to collapse the multiple 'elements' sections in your config file to a single array. > If I try it, I get an fatal error: > > Fatal error: Call to a member function getOrder() on a non-object in > /home/devhost/phpmagazin/form/library/Zend/Form.php on line 824 Hmmm...

This is an interesting idea. Could you put a request in the issue tracker for this? It would be fairly trivial to implement, and would solve a number of the issues people have reported regarding the usage of setElementDecorators(). -- Matthew Weier O'Phinney Software Architect | [EMAIL PROTECTED] Zend - The PHP Company | http://www.zend.com/
