<label> element in ASP.NET

Smokey Grindle

How can you correctly use the <labelelement in asp.net? does the label
custom control corelate to this tag correctly in the same way in that if you
click it it will select the tied element? thanks

The <asp:Labeltag renders to a <spanin HTML and is most akin to a label
on a windows form. The <labeltag, in HTML, is hidden and provides a
wrapper to allow text to toggle a control. The two controls are NOT the
same.

Same as any other HTML element...

If, by "label custom control" you are referring to the <asp:Label>
webcontrol, no - that renders a <spantag.

BTW, <labelis not supported by all browsers, specifically Safari, the most
popular Mac browser...

I have this in my aspx page

<asp:Label ID="Label4" runat="server" AssociatedControlID="txtEmail"
Text="E-Mail Address:"></asp:Label><asp:TextBox ID="txtEmail"
MaxLength="200" Width="365px" runat="server"></asp:TextBox>

when it renders it renders as this

<label for="ctl00_ContentPlaceHolder1_txtEmail"
id="ctl00_ContentPlaceHolder1_Label4">E-Mail Address:</label><input
name="ctl00$ContentPlaceHolder1$txtEmail" type="text" maxlength="200"
id="ctl00_ContentPlaceHolder1_txtEmail" style="width:365px;" />
