I don't think it's possible to add a class attr to the label tag that
Django generates through its lazy form methods. You can pass an attrs
dictionary to a widget. Check into widgets, there are some good
examples in the newforms_admin branch. The only other alternative to
specifying attrs on the label tag is to manually create the form in the
template. Like:
{{ form.field.label }} - {{ form.field }}
Isn't there a ticket in Trac that tries to allow for attrs in the label
tag? It has something to do with errors and required classing of
labels for easier output.
