Group them in a DisplayGroup. :)
Really -- that's what display groups are for. Have your buttons simply
do a ViewHelper decorator, and then have the display group do a
FormElements and HtmlTag decorator:
$form->addElement('submit', 'submit', array(
'label' => 'Submit Button',
'decorators' => array(
'ViewHelper',
),
));
$form->addElement('submit', 'cancel', array(
'label' => 'Cancel Button',
'decorators' => array(
'ViewHelper',
),
));
$form->addElement('submit', 'submit1', array(
'label' => 'Submit One Button',
'decorators' => array(
'ViewHelper',
),
));
$form->addDisplayGroup(array('submit', 'cancel, 'submit1'),
'submitButtons', array(
'decorators' => array(
'FormElements',
array('HtmlTag', array('tag' => 'div', 'class' => 'element')),
),
));
The above will create create the buttons one after another, and then
group them in a <div> with the class of "element".
