Zend Framework: Insert DIV and Image in my form

Question

I need to insert html code like this in my zend form:

Answer 1

This is quasi-finished in ZF 1.10. Seems someone made a Zend_View_Helper_FormNote class so you can insert arbitrary (cept for the decorator) HTML.

To use it you must extend Zend_Form_Element_Xhtml.

Then using the form plugin loader, add your form/element classes to the form object. I put it in my library folder (MyNs/Form/Element/Note.php).

 $yourForm= new Zend_Dojo_Form();
 $yourForm->addPrefixPath("MyNS_Form", "MyNS/Form/");

Now you can call it just like any element.

 $yourForm->addElement(
                'note',
                'myElementId',
                array(
                 'value'=>'omgwtfbbq'
                )
            )

As I mentioned before this still wraps your code in the decorator, but its a solution pre-built into ZF.
