Several things. First, you're making some incorrect assumptions about
where the <dt> and <dd> tags are coming from. For most form elements,
the <dd> is added via an HtmlTag decorator, and the <dt> is added via
the Label decorator. Second, you should be overriding the init() method,
not the __construct() method; it's safer. Third, Use the 'Fieldset'
decorator for fieldsets. Finally, use addElement() to create elements,
as it acts as a factory.
Below is a class that accomplishes the goals you have for your HTML
markup:
class Forms_SubscribeForm extends Zend_Form
{
protected $_defaultDecorators = array(
'ViewHelper',
);
public function init()
{
$this->setAttrib('id', 'newsletterSubscribe');
$this->addElement('text', 'n_email', array(
'decorators' => $this->_defaultDecorators,
));
$this->addElement('submit', 'submit', array(
'decorators' => $this->_defaultDecorators,
));
$this->setDecorators(array(
'FormElements',
'Fieldset',
'Form'
));
}
}
