It was created in large part for this very purpose. A common pattern in PHP is to namespace your forms using array notation, and this was built into Zend_Form. > Are you sure that it will prefix elements with "<name>-" is stead of "<name>_" > (dash instead of underscore?).

Typical JS usage anymore uses getElementById() -- or, even more typically, proxies to that via library-specific mechanisms; I cannot remember the last time I used document.forms to retrieve form elements, honestly. > But I just thought I'ld bring it up anyway. > > Cheers > > > > Date: Wed, 1 Apr 2009 07:11:22 -0400 > > From: matt...@zend.com > > To: fw-general@lists.zend.com > > Subject: Re: [fw-general] Disable id attribute for form elements? > > > > -- fire-eyed-...@hotmail.com <f ire-eyed-...@hotmail.com> wrote > > (on Wednesday, 01 April 2009, 10:14 AM +0000): > > > Thanks for the response again.
