so yes, to answer your orignal question. i wasn't aware that labels were special. and i will now try and use the labels provided with the cake form helper and not overide them |

cake produces good html for it - its all about RAD after all - we mostly create our own labels around it on the project we have done if we use them - otherwise we use placeholders |

BackEndCoder |
i didn't even know |
| # |
Jan 30th 2014, 04:08 |
BackEndCoder |
as they do clicky stuff |
| # |
Jan 30th 2014, 04:08 |
BackEndCoder |
and why you should use the ones inside cake |

We dont often use labels for some form fields but use placeholders aswell but mark is right - labels should always be clickable to bring focus to the field |

but mark. i'm always trying to improve. and i seem to fail on the simple things i will look into trying to code in a better standard. thank you |

BackEndCoder |

| # |
Jan 30th 2014, 04:05 |
BackEndCoder |
but fair enough. there is clearly a reason why labels are there |
| # |

In the usability tests I've seen/done many people click the labels instead of fields. |

Especially if you are using a screenreader |

labels make forms easier to fill out for sure. |
| # |
Jan 30th 2014, 04:04 |
BackEndCoder |
or the data sent inside the form |

Jan 30th 2014, 04:04 |

rly? |

labels make no difference to the forms |
| # |
Jan 30th 2014, 04:04 |
markstory |
but then you have to link up the ids by hand |

i always normally disable the outer div |
| # |
Jan 30th 2014, 04:04 |
BackEndCoder |
if it was required, i would do them manually just outside |
| # |
Jan 30th 2014, 04:03 |
markstory |
so how do people know what the fields are for? |
| # |
Jan 30th 2014, 04:03 |
BackEndCoder |
sorry was that a trick question? |
| # |
Jan 30th 2014, 04:03 |
BackEndCoder |
cause i didn't want labels ? |
| # |
Jan 30th 2014, 04:02 |
markstory |
BackEndCoder: why do you turn the labels off? |

Jan 30th 2014, 04:00 |
BackEndCoder |

| # |
Jan 30th 2014, 04:00 |
BackEndCoder |
and do them manually |
| # |
Jan 30th 2014, 04:00 |
BackEndCoder |

| # |
Jan 30th 2014, 03:59 |
BackEndCoder |
just above it if you wish |
| # |
Jan 30th 2014, 03:59 |
BackEndCoder |
but you can manually set a label in html |
| # |
Jan 30th 2014, 03:59 |
BackEndCoder |
set the label, in cake its 'label'=> |
| # |
Jan 30th 2014, 03:59 |
