Proposers Jan Pieper

Revision 1.0 - 16 July 2008: Initial Draft. (wiki revision: 7)

Table of Contents

1. Overview

Zend_Form_Element_Note is a simple component that displays plain text in Zend_Form. Very usefull if you do not want users to edit a fields value.

There is still Zend_View_Helper_FormNote (see references), but in an XHTML document it causes a warning (used W3C HTML Validator) because the label belongs to no matching element.

    We don't need this. Ugly HTML with no semantics.
    The solution: create a new element for Zend_Form:

    There is already a helper for Zend_View: „Zend_View_Helper_FormNote".
