Very wild guess. The ValidationTextBox *view helper* takes for
arguments, but here you're instantiating a form element. Apples and
oranges

Several things I see that could be done differently with that form.
First, just use Zend_Dojo_Form -- it's simpler and easier than using
Zend_Form and then Dojo-enabling it. It also has the side effect of
ensuring that the Dojo view helper path is added to the view.
Second, use addElement() as a factory instead of passing in concrete
element instances. This takes advantage of the plugin architecture,
which will allow you to create your own local overrides of the various
elements later if you want to.
Third, instead of creating the form programmatically within a helper
method of your controller, instead create your own form class extending
Zend_Dojo_Form:
class ContactForm extends Zend_Dojo_Form
{
public function init()
{
$this->setDecorators(array(
'FormElements',
array('HtmlTag', array('tag' => 'ul', 'id' => 'contact')),
'Form',
));
$this->addElement('text', 'name', array(
'validators' => array(
array('validator' => 'Alnum', 'options' => array(true)),
),
'required' => true,
'label' => 'Your name:',
));
$this->addElement('ValidationTextBox', 'email', array(
'validators' => array('EmailAddress'),
'required' => true,
'label' => 'Your Email',
'attribs' => array('Just' => 'some', 'useless' => 'values'),
'invalidMessage' => 'Invalid',
));
// ...
}
}
Then, in your controller, have your getForm() method simply instantiate
and return the form.
