Thank you for your reply. I have another question: What is in the 3rd array
after the 'Description'? array(array('row' => 'HtmlTag'), array('tag' =>
'dt')),
I have seen people use "TR"s for table rows in this part. What else can I
pass in the setElementDecorators() function?
Seriously, thanks for the short example you gave above. It is shedding some
light already ;)
