I am having two problems with Zend Form and Zend Decorators that are driving me crazy.

I am trying to get this html structure when I get a form error:

<li class="error">

<label class="desc" for="name"> First Name </label>

<div>

<input class="field text half" name="name" type="text" value="" />

</div>

<p class="hint"> Your nickname </p>

<p class="error"> Error Message </p>

</li>

1. I want to replace the <ul> and <li> elements of the error messages with a <p> element. And then to have it print out an error message at the bottom of the <li>.
   
2. I want to add the class "error" to the <li> when it returns an error. I imagine the code will look something like the code below, but I can't figure it out.

if( $form->isValid($formData) ) {

...

} else {

$this->view->message = 'Validation Failed.';
$form->setElementDecorators(...);

}

Thanks so much for any help,
Daniel

You must override your isValid function and manipulate the decorators there, basically you need to manipulate the HtmlTag decorator of the item with error and setOption('class', 'error')
