Zend framework Checkbox issue

Hi The problem with Zend_Form_Element_Checkbox is that when it renders it is creating a hidden input field with the same name as the actual checkbox. So let's see the code:

This is how i create the element inside form:

    $onlineCheckbox = $this->createElement('checkbox', 'online_checkbox', array(
      'label'=>'Online:',
      'uncheckedValue'=> '0',
      'checkedValue' => '1'
    ));

And this is the Output html look like:

<input type="hidden" name="online_checkbox" value="0" /><input type开发者_C百科="checkbox" name="online_checkbox" id="online_checkbox" value="1" />

Now the problem is that in Other browsers then Firefox i get the needed results via post( if unchecked '0', if checked '1') but in Firefox for both cases i get '0', i know that this is because of that hidden field. I googled and seems that this issue is not figured out. So my question is how do others manage this , or may be there is a solution to make this work in firefox. Any help will be appreciated. Thank in advance.

EDIT: Thank to @Marcin - i think the problem is in my decorators. In Firebug i get a messy output, i think that if i will arrange them correctly it will work, again thank @Marcin for pointing out!

You probably have a Dojo enabled form. The Zend_Dojo_View_Helper_CheckBox renders a hidden element and the form element. You can specify the plain old check box like so:

$onlineCheckbox = new Zend_Form_Element_CheckBox('online_checkbox', array(
  'label'=>'Online:',
  'uncheckedValue'=> '0', //can be removed, this is the default functionality
  'checkedValue' => '1', //can be removed, this is the default functionality
));

This will by pass Zend_Form::createElement()'s plugin loader.

Happy Hacking!

You need to use a IdenticalValidator as workaround for this issue:

->addValidator('Identical', false, '1');
