What you are looking for is the 'ViewScript' decorator. It allows you to form your html in any way you need. Here is a simple example of how it works:
The form, a simple search form:
<?php
classApplication_Form_SearchextendsZend_Form{publicfunction init(){// create new element
$query = $this->createElement('text','query');// element options
$query->setLabel('Search Keywords');
$query->setAttribs(array('placeholder'=>'Query String','size'=>27,));// add the element to the form
$this->addElement($query);//build submit button
$submit = $this->createElement('submit','search');
$submit->setLabel('Search Site');
$this->addElement($submit);}}
