Zend_Form: Database records in HTML table with checkboxes

Question

Hi,

I am trying to add a HTML multi-column table to a Zend_Form. The table would be populated by data from the database and each row should be preceded by a checkbox, as shown in the ASCII below:

+-----+-------------------------+-----------------------+--------------+
|     | Column_1                | Column_2              | Column_3     |
+-----+-------------------------+-----------------------+--------------+
| [x] | Row #1                  | Some data             | more data    |
+-----+-------------------------+-----------------------+--------------+
| [x] | Row #2                  | Some data             | more data    |
+-----+-------------------------+-----------------------+--------------+
| [x] | Row #3                  | Some data             | more data    |
+-----+-------------------------+-----------------------+--------------+

The table would handle many-to-many relationships. Would anyone happen to know how to implement this?

At the very least you'll have to remove DtDd Decorator, set the Html Decorator tag to div and remove the Label Decorator.

I suggest you make the form as best you can then work from that, at least give it a go.

In the worst situation you will have to write your own form elements to replicate this HTML.
