Hide a Zend_Form_Element

[flow]

Hi,

I want to hide a zend_form_element and I was wondering that there is no
visible-attribute or something like that.
Of course I can give the element a class and hide it via CSS, but is this
the "correct" way?
I think It would be better to hide the element in the init of the form so
that it doesn't get rendered.

Thanks for your help.

Do you need it to be invisible but submitted with the post data? Try making
it a hidden input field:
$this->addElement('hidden', 'myfield', array(/* ... */));

Or you can remove the element completely if you don't need it to be
submitted:

$form = new MyForm();
$form->removeElement('myfield');

Or, like you said, you can use CSS to make them invisible with display:none.

Hello Hector,

thanks for your reply.
removeElement is the way to go.
