make the label tag magic
Reported by Matt Jones | December 3rd, 2009 @ 09:36 PM | in Beyond Hobo 1.0
Was stunned to find out that:
<label:foo />
didn't do the sensible thing (generate a label attached to the foo field, with text from the relevant view hint).
The logical way to handle this parallels the existing behavior of the a tag (or the form tag): passing an explicit for= attribute gets a standard label tag. Otherwise, you get a label tag for the current field, with the body filled in correctly if it's missing. Would be a very short addition, and match the input tag nicely.
Not technically a defect, but felt like one because it was missing...

Yeah nice idea. You can then also do
<with:foo><label/><input/></with>:)
My only concern is that we need a unique ID in order to associate the label with the field right? At the moment we let Rails add an ID to the inputs but are we sure they are unique? The Rails approach (model_field) seems a bit sloppy. Won't it break e.g. with an
<input-many/>? -
