This is great, thanks for your help.
I am still getting into grips with zend form and zend dojo.
Basically I wanted to be able to inject custom html code in various parts of
the form, which works great now. I'm including the code below, in case it is
useful to anyone else.
In my form:
$myHtml = '<h1>Test Custom Html</h1>';
require_once 'MyProject/Form/Element/CustomHtml.php';
$custom = new CustomHtml('custom');
$custom->setValue($myHtml);
$custom->addDecorators(array(
'ViewHelper',
array('HtmlTag', array('tag' => 'li'))
));
// inject it wherever you want
$this->addElement($custom);
and.... add the helper class (thanks PHPScriptor)
class MyProject_View_Helper_CustomHtml extends Zend_View_Helper_FormElement
{
protected $_customHtml;
public function customHtml($name, $value = null, $attribs = null)
{
return $value;
}
}
