Here are my files.

The view:
http://bin.cakephp.org/view/542541964

The controller:
http://bin.cakephp.org/view/132354357

The form:
http://bin.cakephp.org/view/40623455

Now, when I run this, this is the text that I see:

entering view
asdfasfasd
exiting view
ENTER - buildAffiliateSelectForm - Application_Form_Input
EXIT - buildAffiliateSelectForm - Application_Form_Input

Why is my controller (action, in this case) is executing after the view? This doesn't make any sense.

It's not executing afterward, but is displaying afterward. The view layer uses various pieces of buffer trickery to do it's job. Hence, output outside of a view is not recommended. What exactly is the issue you are trying to solve?

Basically, what I'm trying to do is have the form elements (Zend_Form_Element_Select, for example) to show up in my view. This used to work (I swear), but suddenly they stopped working. And I don't know why. In the example above, I should see a drop down (even if it's not populated at all and has only 1 item in it).

Fixed the size of the text.

Ok, putting a parent::__construct($options); in the constructor did it. $options were set by default to null.
