Class FieldLabel

java.lang.Object
  org.apache.tapestry.spec.BaseLocatable
      org.apache.tapestry.AbstractComponent
          org.apache.tapestry.valid.FieldLabel

All Implemented Interfaces:

IComponent, ILocatable, ILocationHolder, IRender

public abstract class FieldLabel
extends AbstractComponent

Used to label an IFormComponent. Because such fields know their displayName (user-presentable name), there's no reason to hard code the label in a page's HTML template (this also helps with localization). [Component Reference]
