Question

I am trying to set display:none attribute to Zend_Element_Checkbox. I have managed to hide checkbox itself. Unfortunately label keeps on displaying still.

Here is my code:

$this->addElement('Select', 'junior_accounts', array(
    'label' => 'Junior (15yrs & under)',
    'multiOptions' => $personNumberList,
    'tabindex' => $tabIndex++,
  ));

$this->getElement('junior_accounts')->setAttribs(array('style' => 'display: none'));

Is there any programmatical method of doing this or I need to set class of the element and add appropriate CSS definition?

Thanks!

You can get access to the label of the Zend_Form_Element via Zend_Form_Element::getDecorator(). Then you can set the style option of the decorator to control its CSS properties.

$label = $this->getElement('junior_accounts')->getDecorator('Label');

if ($label instanceof Zend_Form_Decorator_Abstract) {
    $label->setOption('style', 'display: none');
}
