Question

I started using Zend forms, how can i have :

 <button id="show" type="button">
    <img width="18" height="18" alt="Calendar" src="assets/calbtn.gif">
 </button>

using Zend_Form_Button.

I tried this but it didnt work :

$btn = new Zend_Form_Element_Button('show');
$btn->removeDecorator('DtDdWrapper');
$btn->setLabel(' ');
$btn->addDecorator('Label', array('HtmlTag',array('tag'=>'img','placement'=>'append','src'=> 'assets/img.gif')));

Answer 1

You could always use css to set a background for the button and then use

$btn->setAttr('class', 'btn_class');

And in css

.btn_class {
    background-image: url('assets/img.gif');
}

I am not sure how you could do what you want without creating a new custom Zend_Form_Element. But There is also Zend_Form_Element_Image that probably does exactly what you want.
