TOPIC: missing associated labels

missing associated labels 12 years 6 months ago #19167

Hi,
I'm trying to follow the webguidelines as much as possible,
and noticed all the form-layouts are missing the associated labels.

For example:
First name: 
<input type="text" name="firstname" tabindex="1" />

should be:
<label for="firstname">First name:</label> 
<input type="text" name="firstname" id="firstname" tabindex="1" />

Is there a setting i overlooked?
Thanks.

Hello,

Textboxes actually don't need labels as all fields have captions. Labels are indeed assigned for radio, checkbox and select elements.

The Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.0 seem to disagree, if you look here achecker

Hello,

As the title states these are general guidelines and not imposed standards. We will try add / improve this in future revisions. In the mean time you can either edit the auto-generate layout (Properties > Form Layout area) according to your needs, or use HTML (that include a label tag) within the caption area for textfields.

I AM TRYING TO DO THE SAME, BUT THE EMAIL NOT SHOWING THE ENTERED VALUE IN THE FIELDS. I GET SOMETHING LIKE THIS:
Customize this e-mail also. You will receive it as administrator.
{FullName:caption}:{FullName:value}
E-mail:Mario.Hamwi@mycomapny.com
{CompanySize:caption}:{CompanySize:value}
{Position:caption}:{Position:value}
{ContactBy:caption}:{ContactBy:value}
{ContactWhen:caption}:{ContactWhen:value}

How can I get the fields value show up in the email, is my question?
