NFR: plain label field type about gm_config HOT 10 CLOSED

So you wish to put additional information about a field? Some sort of blurb that could clarify what that particular field does? Currently there is only "title" which attaches a tooltip to that field.

We could easily insert a textNode with some content, but we need something to call it in the JSON. How about something like "info" or "description"?

What I tried in the init was this and of course it created a default form field which isn't what I wanted

"identifierName": {
  "label": 'NOTE: yadda yadda ying'
}

However the guts handle this... this could be a possibility on how to programmatically interface with it. Most likely it wouldn't create a label element but a textNode since label passes events to the successive form field.

What are you using this for? If it isn't a field then it really shouldn't be passed as one. Fields are for data, not displaying random bits of information.

I gave you an example of what I'm using it for right here.

However you want to do it is up to you... since it's in the DOM I can always add whatever I want inside it but if this is going to be a complete toolkit it should have all the basics... which includes standalone text labels.

I guess its a good idea and its really simple to add. If you don't specify a type we'll add an empty value-less field. Makes more sense then whatever we are doing now.

Renamed from "fields may be misleading (eventually) and perhaps a New Feature" to current

I'm thinking that I can probably get away with the label field and using CSS to push things around now that #21 is complete and as long as the label field is always encompassed in a span tag to maintain XHTML compliance.

Closing as potentially really not necessary I think.

Well it would be handy for beautification but I think CSS 3 might be an improvement when it's more in full force. I also still need to test if type hidden still shows the label or not too... a thought I had earlier today. :)
