<Label>

Renders a static caption next to a form control. The For attribute associates the label with a specific input control (by Id), letting screen readers announce the caption when the user focuses the control. The label's text can be set via the Text attribute, or by placing text between <Label> and </Label>.

Example

<AddForm>
  ...
  <table>
    <tr>
      <td>
        <Label Id="lblFirstName" For="txtFirstName" Text="First Name" />
        <TextBox Id="txtFirstName" DataField="FirstName" DataType="String" />
      </td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
      <td>
        <Label Id="lblLastName" For="txtLastName" Text="Last Name" />
        <TextBox Id="txtLastName" DataField="LastName" DataType="String" />
      </td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
      <td colspan="2"><AddButton Text="Add" /> <CancelButton Text="Cancel" /></td>
    </tr>
  </table>
</AddForm>

Property Details

• For: The Id of the input control this label captions. When set, the label renders as an HTML <label for="..."> element pointing to that control. This lets assistive technology read the caption when the user focuses the input, and lets sighted users click the caption to focus the input.

• Text: The caption to display. Alternatively, you can place the caption between the opening <Label> and closing </Label> tags — useful when the caption needs HTML markup.

  <Label For="txtNotes"><strong>Notes</strong> <em>(optional)</em></Label>
