adding an id to a label tag

Hi everyone,

I'm creating a form and I just can't find how to give a <label> tag an id using zend_form. ->setAttrib('id', 'agreement-box') worked fine for the checkbox, but I couldn't do ->setAttrib('id', 'agreement-label') since the label is considered a decorator it seems. Here is what I want:

HTML Code:

<input class="checkbox" name="agreement-box" id="agreement-box" type="checkbox" />
<label id="agreement-label">I have read and agree to the <a href="#">Terms of Use</a> and <a href="#">Private Policy</a></label>

here is the zend_form code:

PHP Code:


			
        $agreementText = $this->translate->_('I have read and agree to the');

        $agreementText .= '<a href="#">' . $this->translate->_(' Terms of Use') . '</a>';

        $agreementText .= $this->translate->_(' and');

        $agreementText .= ' <a href="#">' . $this->translate->_('Private Policy') . '</a>';

        $agreementBox = $this->addElement('checkbox', 'agreement-box',

            array('label' => $agreementText));

        $agreementBox = $this->getElement('agreement-box')

                             ->setAttrib('id', 'agreement-box')

                             ->setRequired(true);

        $agreementBox->setDecorators($decorators);

        $label = $agreementBox->getDecorator('label');  //set up label for separate styling

        $label->setOption('placement', 'append');

as you can see i'm translating the label (to allow for multiple languages), which works fine but I also get a problem with the html tags getting converted.

here's zend's html output:

HTML Code:

<input type="checkbox" name="agreementbox" id="agreement-box" value="1">
<label for="agreement-box" class="required">I have read and agree to the&lt;a href=&quot;#&quot;&gt; Terms of Use&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=&quot;#&quot;&gt;Private Policy&lt;/a&gt;:</label>

does anyone know how to fix this? I suppose that's 2 questions. I searched the forums and looked through the Zend manual, but I couldn't find anything about this level of form manipulation. Please help!
