class My_Form extends Zend_Form() { ... private function _getUniqueId() { $names = $this->getId(); foreach ($this->getElements() as $element) { $names .= $element->getName(); } return md5($names); } /** * Unique identifier for this form * @return string */ public function getIdentifier() { if (null !== $this->_identifier) { return $this->_identifier; } $id = $this->getId(); if (empty($id)) { $id = $this->getName(); } if (empty($id)) { $id = $this->_getUniqueId(); } $id = 'form_' . $id; $this->_identifier = $id; return $id; } /** * Add to the form hidden field with unique identifier */ private function _addIdentifier() { //if (!$this->_identifierAdded) { $name = $this->getIdentifier(); $element = new Zend_Form_Element_Hidden($name); $this->addElement($element); // $this->_identifierAdded; //} } public function render($view = null) { $this->_addIdentifier(); return parent::render($view); } } -- regards takeshin -- View this message in context: http://n4.nabble.com/Setting-form-element-id-tp1557052p1557210.html Sent from the Zend Framework mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
