Zend Form: Checkbox element displays as hidden field?

Question

I would like to add a simple check box to my form:

$element = new Zend_Form_Element_Checkbox(\'dont\');
$element->setDescription(\'Check this box if you don\\\

Andrew, here's how to really hide your hidden form elements:

$element1 = $form->createElement('hidden', 'element1');
$element1
  ->setDecorators(array(
    'ViewHelper',
    array('HtmlTag', array('tag' => 'dd'))
  ));

Now, you don't have to mess with jQuery code to try to shrink those down. And, you don't have to worry about hidden checkbox fields, either.
