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\\\         


        

Answer 1

I'm just coming across the hidden element for checkboxes myself. I don't have a solution for the post but want to add in my thoughts about the hidden field. This is so if the user does not check the box off a value of 0 is still passed. Otherwise the checkbox is not posted.
