Subject: Re: [FB] put field labels in <th>?
Nate,

That's how I do it when I'm using templates:

(This is a static page, not a form,
 but the use of th for labels is consistent with what
 you're talking about.)

Do you see any utility in putting FormBuilder field labels inside of <th> elements to allow better style control? Here's what I'm thinking right now:

  <table class="myform">
    <tr>
      <th>Your Name</th>
      <td>
         <input class="myform_input" name="fullname" type="text">
      </td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
      <th>Gender</th>
      <td>
         <input class="myform_radio" id="gender"
          name="gender" type="radio" value="M" />
         <label for="gender">M</label>

         <input class="myform_radio" id="gender"
          name="gender" type="radio" value="F" />
         <label for="gender">F</label>
      </td>
    </tr>
  </table>

This would allow a stylesheet to say something like this (thanks Norton):

  table.myform {}
  table.myform tr {}
  table.myform td {}
  table.myform th {}

And per Peter to get around CSS2 selector problems:

  .myform_input { }
  .myform_radio { }

Thoughts?
