Question

How can i change this format and the class name of that form?

And also how can i change the format from dl,dd,dd to

Answer 1

The HTML rendered by the form is controlled via decorators. This is a good place to start learning about them – http://framework.zend.com/manual/en/learning.form.decorators.html

If you provide an example of the markup you’d like to generate, I can show you a decorator scheme that should work.

As for the class name, assuming you’re talking about the HTML form element’s class attribute, simply set it using the Zend_Form::setAttrib() method, eg

$form->setAttrib('class', 'my-css-class');
