How can I append a description to a Zend_Form_Element?
- by Mallika Iyer
I have the following Zend_Form_Element:
$imginstructions = "Some description";
$img = $this->createElement('select','img');
$img->setAttrib('class', 'image-select');
$imgdecorator = $img->getDecorator('Description');
$imgdecorator->setOption('escape', false);
$img->setLabel('Image:')
->setRequired(true)
->addMultiOptions($images)
->setValue('')
->setDescription($imginstructions)
->addErrorMessage('You must select an image');
$img->size = 5;
$this->addElement($img);
The description should appear next to the select box.
The problem is : When an error is thrown, the html rendered changes so the description shows up below the select box, instead of beside it.
HTML rendered before error is thrown:
<dd id="img-element">
<select size="5" class="image-select" id="img" name="img" style="display: none;">
...........options..............
</select>
<p class="description">Some Description</p></dd>
HTML rendered after error is thrown:
<dd id="img-element">
<select size="5" class="image-select" id="img" name="img" style="display: none;">
...........options..............
</select>
<ul class="errors"><li>You must select an image</li></ul>
<p class="description">Some Description</p></dd>
Is there a way to force the error message to be appended as the last element in the DOM tree for the dd element?
Something like:
<dd id="img-element">
<select size="5" class="image-select" id="img" name="img" style="display: none;">
...........options..............
</select>
<p class="description">Some Description</p>
<ul class="errors"><li>You must select an image</li></ul></dd>
so the 'ul' is at the end of the dd DOM tree.
Thanks, I appreciate your taking the time to respond to this question!
