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()
