Re: change label/input generated code
Perhaps place the $form-input within as an argument for $form-label and have it not escape? --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups CakePHP group.

Re: change label/input generated code
Hey Marcelo,
You could just do something simply like:
labelMy label: ?php echo $form-input('MyModel.field', array
('label'= false)); ?/label
Or even better: Make your own helper that extends the Cake FormHelper
and has a method that does this.

Hi all,
What's the better way to make the output of this

generate labels surrounding the input element like
this
labelMy label: input type=text id=MyModelField //label
instead of label for= version. ???
Best regards.

Re: change label/input generated code
Your first suggestion is what I went with when I wanted to do the
same. I figure there's no great need to have Cake output a label. It's
convenient but, to get the markup I wanted, it made more sense to go
around it.
As for extending the helper, I tried that, too, at the time. But I
never could quite figure out how HtmlHelper was doing things.

Re: change label/input generated code
I do not believe that is possible unless you build the elements yourself without the helper. Is there a reason your wrapping it like that? I do believe that is incorrect syntax. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups CakePHP group.

Re: change label/input generated code
That syntax is fine. The difference is that, in wrapping the input with the label, the label is implicit, and so the for attribute is unnecessary. When using the for= syntax, the label is explicit. Both are acceptable but some screen-readers don't handle the implicit syntax well. One reason for using the implicit syntax is for styling. In some situations, it may be easier to define CSS rules for a label which wraps the input.

Re: change label/input generated code
Eh it may be valid, I just don't believe it should be used that way. That's what block elements like div are used for. You also have a lot more control over the styling when not wrapping it in the label. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups CakePHP group.

Re: change label/input generated code
committees! I hate the float model, myself. Anyway, it'd be best if Cake's mark-up was as configurable as the specs allowed for. I'm not saying it isn't already. I'm probably missing something. And, if it isn't, I'm sure it's not trivial to make it so. I did once need (want) to change Cake's label+input er ... output and I never did figure it out. So, to get back to the OP's question (sorry for the hijack), does anyone know how to fiddle with the label+input thingy?
