Question

I have a problem with aligning my legends in forms, and reading the decorator documentation did not exactly make it much clear for me how i can replace the tag with a normal .

Does anyone know how this can be done?

Thanks.

EDIT

I’m very sorry, I was still thinking about label, not legend. To replace legend tag (which is generated when you’re using subforms or manually add fieldset decorator to your form and call $form->setLegend('some')) with another one, you have two options.

1. Write your own fieldset view helper (Zend_View_Helper_Fieldset), and put it into your application helpers directory. It will force ZF to take your helper instead this one located in library folder. In that original helper you have:

   // get legend
   $legend = '';
   if (isset($attribs['legend'])) {
       $legendString = trim($attribs['legend']);
       if (!empty($legendString)) {
           $legend = '<legend>'
                   . (($escape) ? $this->view->escape($legendString) : $legendString)
                   . '</legend>' . PHP_EOL;
       }
       unset($attribs['legend']);
   }
   

   You can replace legend tag with div in your helper and it will work.

2. Second way to achieve that, is just add HtmlTag decorator to your Zend_Form element instance. Look here, it’s great tutorial how to use decorators in ZF: http://devzone.zend.com/1240/decorators-with-zend_form/

Sorry for misleading you at the beginning 🙁
