although it probably relates to the label... have to think some more
in any case (my client side js-knowledge is limited) can you actively do something with this access-key knowledge in HTML forms?

Hi:
Will be included the <wd:help> tag into Woody?
Oops, sorry for ignoring your previous mail about the topic... actually I have been pondering a while about whether the wd:label tag in the form definition makes any sense at all (and if it shouldn't simply be something that is part of the view template or xsl), and that's what got me distracted. But now I think it does make sense, and thus so does wd:help.
I'll try to implement it when I have some time.
Thanks.
By the way, I think the <wd:label> tag is important too. But it must be optional. Sometimes we dont like to show any label for a widget.
<wd:help> must be also a optional tag.
There is missing another tag the <wd:hot-key> or <wd:access-key> tag. Maybe this can be an attribute of the <wd:label> tag.
The implementation of this tag also can be a problem with the i18n. For example: In a text box:
Language label Hotkey english surname "s" spanish apellidos "a".
Of course other languages vary. This is a problem that also must be solved. Also note that not always the first char is the hotkey. The hot key must be unique for every widget in the form. Example:
If we have on the same form text boxes labeled "surname", "source" the hot key can be "s" for "surname" and "o" for "source".
I know this things are basics, but not for that we can forget it :)
I just tried to scratchpad this little problem. To show some enhancements we can do in the great form machinery called woody.
Of course is up to the implementator is he will implement in the view <wd:help>, <wd:label> and <wd:hotkey>.
Best Regards,
Antonio Gallardo.
