Hi, Carl, 

 thanks but because I want to not touch too much of the form in my
controller and just want to keep the configuration to the configuration
file, I will try and specify an "ID" attribute such as:


>   # Address - start
>    <elements>
>        type Block
>        id address
>        <elements>
>           <constraints>
>               max   5
>               type   Length
>               message   Length must be no more than 5 digits
>           </constraints>
>           filter   TrimEdges
>           filter   HTMLEscape
>           name   street_number
>           type   Text
>           label   street_number
             id        street_number  <-- I am going to try this out 
>           <attributes>
>               title Enter street number here
>           </attributes>
>       </elements>
>
>    # Address - end

Hi,

If the field has an ID, the label will automatically be given an
appropriate 'for' attribute.

An easy way to do this for the whole form is with $form->auto_id()
