Make sure you're using FormComponentLabel
for the <label>
element instead of Label
.
Label
's purpose is to output text inside the associated element (it can be a <span>
, <div>
or almost any other tag).
FormComponentLabel
's purpose is to model <label>
tags. They receive the FormComponent
they're related to and automatically output the for
attribute with the proper value for the dom id
attribute.
Take a look at the Wicket wiki page on Form control labels. They're adding components to FormComponentLabel
there.
If you'd like to avoid using FormComponentLabel
at all, you shouldn't be giving it a wicket:id
attribute, and manually set the DOM id
attribute of the element the <label>
is going to refer to. Then just use it in the for
attribute of the <label>
.
For instance:
HTML
<input wicket:id="drug">
<label for="drug_1">[Drug XYZ]
<span wicket:id="drugSearchResult.row.item.info">[Information, Price, Other]</span>
</label>
Java
TextField drug = new TextField("drug");
drug.setMarkupId("drug_1"); // Make sure this ID is unique in the page!
drug.setOutputMarkupId(true);
add(drug);
Label drugDescription = new Label("drugSearchResult.row.item.label", aModel);
add(drugDescription);
