And if you want to change the way the labels are done (the way it is 
currently output is valid however, but i didn't like it either) see the 
docs for HTML::Widget::Element::container_class and an example that will 
do what you want is at 
http://search.cpan.org/src/CFRANKS/HTML-Widget-1.10/t/lib/TestContainer.pm 
(I think that does it anyway - i did when I first added that feature)
