$field->setAttrib('class', 'btn')->setLabel('Save');

please note the capital 'L' in setLabel() above

Hi rishi, i tried this code ->setLabel('Save') but its still not showing the value in the submit.

Both setlabel and setLabel work, I've tested them (using your code) and they do. How do you display your form or this form input ?

My output does not get the 'helper="formSubmit"' bit, where does that come from ?

Change type (default type="button" don't trigger form submit) to "submit". e.g.

$this->addElement('button', 'my_button', array(
    'label' => 'Click me',
    'class' => 'nice_button',
    'type' => 'submit'
));

You want to set the value? so use the setter:$field->setValue('Save');
