Question

I have a form which I create manually (a lot of JavaScript in it…). I am using the Zend_Form classes on the server side to validate input and some more.

Is there a way to get a Zend_Form_Element_Select (or any other element) to be rendered without rendering the entire Zend_Form object?

Answer 1

Do you mean something like,

$element = new Zend_Form_Element_Select(...);
echo $element->render();

?

That will render only a Select element, not an entire form.

That method is defined in the Zend_Form_Element class that is the parent of all the Zend_Form_Element_* classes. See the API for more information.
