DOB:
Month Day Year

not:

Month Day Year
DOB:

Nice tutorial!! I’ve tried sticking with Zend’s default dt/dd tags for a ‘Date of Birth’ select tag group (Month-Day-Year). What I’m trying to create is like this:

DOB:

Jan
Feb

01
02

1994
1993

The closest solution that I got is the reverse of it:

Jan
Feb

01
02

1994
1993

DOB:

by adding a select element like this (month only):

$this->addElement(‘select’, ‘birthday_month’,

array(

‘multioptions’ => $this->_createMonths(),
‘disableLoadDefaultDecorators’ => true,
‘decorators’ => $this->_standardElementDecorator

)

);

and grouping the select elements (month day year) using this display group:

$this->addDisplayGroup(

array(‘birthday_month’, ‘birthday_day’, ‘birthday_year’),
‘birthdate_data’,
array(

‘description’ => ‘DOB:’,
‘disableLoadDefaultDecorators’ => true,
‘decorators’ => $this->_standardGroupDecorator

)

);

using these decorator for the select elements:

protected $_standardElementDecorator = array(

‘ViewHelper’

);

and this decorator for the group (month day year):

protected $_standardGroupDecorator = array(

‘FormElements’,
array(‘Description’, array(‘escape’ => false, ‘tag’ => false)),
array(‘HtmlTag’, array(‘tag’ => ‘dd’)),

);

I know it’s a mouthful for a post hehehe. If I change the order in the group decorator:

protected $_standardGroupDecorator = array(

array(‘Description’, array(‘escape’ => false, ‘tag’ => false)),
‘FormElements’,
array(‘HtmlTag’, array(‘tag’ => ‘dd’)),

);

Alignment gets broken. Please help. I’m very close.
