Hi all,
Does anyone have experience with the <label for> in conjunction with input fields.
Unfortunately, no further information in the online help are included.
My Profoundui version is 5.6.0
Thanks in advance
Tom

Tom,

The 'label for' property is used on a dynamic output field (or label) widget to generate a <label for> wrapper around itself that points to the specified input element. See screenshot below for a simple example.

The idea is that you would 'connect' the output field to the textbox. Does that answer your question?

Thanks Glen,
my question is answered.

Would it also possible to create the following example?
The purpose ist to display a readonly text within a textarea

<Div id = "group">
<Label for = "field"> read only text </ label>
<Textarea name = "field" id = "field"> custom input text</ textarea>
</ Div>

The process for a textarea is the same as with an input field: specify the textarea's ID in the label's "label for" property.

For example, if your textarea had the ID, "TextArea1", then your label's "label for" property would be this value: TextArea1. Then HTML like this would be produced:

Code: Select all

<textarea id="TextArea1"></textarea>
<div id="Label1">
  <label for="TextArea1">This is a text area:</label>
</div>
