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

You can add an attribute disableHidden to the checkbox form element which prevents it from adding a hidden field while rendering.

$chk = new Zend_Form_Element_Checkbox('test_checkbox');
$chk->setAttrib('disableHidden', true);
