Description:
------------
Trying to insert a html type element before some other elements. Somehow this goes wrong...
It gives an error on QuickForm.php line 646 which has an array_search statement.
The problem is, that a html element doesnt have a name. So currentName, which resolves to $element->getName() returns nothing...
I cannot easily reproduce the code here but I'm almost sure thats the problem.

It happens only if the last element of the _elements array is html it seems...

I made my own workaround by bypassing the else statement if the type is html...

anyway, maybe its an idea, i don't know if its possible but anyway, to give the html pseudo element a name...
I know the name can't be put in the html, but maybe until the real rendering to html begins, it's usefull for these questions.

Well, it uses DB_DataObject_FormBuilder, so I don't know if I can manage to get some handsome reproduce code... I'll try to add it.

Reproducing code can be found on: http://www.syslogic.nl/~junior/php/quickform-html-bug.phps

Again, it uses FormBuilder so it's maybe a bit more work to get the code work.

The problem is that FOrmBuilder automatically builds a form which is what I call vertically based. 2 columns, left the field label, right the input field.
I want get rid of the label and get all input fields on one line.

Therefore I create each element with another template, which doesnt use a new <tr> for each field. But I cannot include the <tr> for the new row, so I want to add that afterwards.
I add a HTML element, which gives back a reference. I use that reference to get insertElementBefore work...
Hope its clear.
I still think its not a formbuilder bug...
