Hi Mon,
Thank you for your reply.
1) So I can turn of escaping? Great! I tried including it in the label, and
indeed it escaped the characters. This was just what I needed to know. Thanks!
2) Hmmm, so I guess I'm stuck to a ViewScript decorator then huh? I was trying
to avoid it, for the reason that I would preferably like to have the Form code
in one place. Nonetheless, the example you have given is a very valuable one. I
couldn't figure out how to do it in a ViewScript when I experimented with it
earlier. I wasn't aware of the render[*****] methods. But this demonstrates
things perfectly. Much obliged!
Cheers

Zend_Form question
1. Include the span in the label and turn off escaping.
e.g. $form->addElement('button', 'submit', array('type' => 'submit', 'label' =>
'<span>Send</span>', 'escape' => false));
2. I don't think that's possible without using the ViewScript decorator or
writing a custom one. The regular decorators are not aware of the other
elements in the form.
I'd do it this way:
- strip down the decorators to remove the dt-dd nonsense. I prefer having as
little HTML in the decorators as possible when I render them manually in the
view.
$decors = array('ViewHelper', 'Label', 'Errors');$form->addElement('text',
'contactFullName', array('label' => 'Naam', 'class' => 'text', 'decorators' =>
$decors));
$form->addElement('radio', 'contactGender', array('multiOptions' => array('m'
=> 'Mr.', 'f' => 'Ms.'), 'decorators' => $decors));
- render individual decorators in the view along with the markup:
<dt><?= $this->form->contactFullName->renderLabel(); ?>
</dt><dd>
<?= $this->form->contactGender->renderViewHelper(); ?></dd>
<dd><?= $this->form->contactFullName->renderViewHelper(); ?>
<?= $this->form->contactFullName->renderErrors(); ?></dd>
I personally think this should be the way to go when building the HTML for the
form and should be featured more prominently in the manual. More code for sure,
but you have absolute control over the appearance of the form.

Hi all,
I have two questions concerning Zend_Form
1) Is there an easy way to add a decorator or utilize another method to get
Zend_Form_Element_Button to insert additional elements inside its tags, like so
(notice the <span>'s):
<button type="submit" name="submit"><span>Send</span></button>
2) Is there an easy way to have a Zend_Form_Element rendered between another
element and its label. Sort of like so (notice gender radio's in between
contactFullName label and contactFullName input):
<dt>
<label for="contactFullName" class="required">Naam</label>
</dt>
<dd>
<label for="contactGender-m"><input type="radio" name="contactGender"
id="contactGender-m" value="m">Mr.</label><br>
<label for="contactGender-f"><input type="radio" name="contactGender"
id="contactGender-f" value="f">Ms.</label>
</dd>
<dd>
<input type="text" name="contactFullName" id="contactFullName" value=""
class="text">
</dd>
Thank you in advance for your insights.
