Section 508 and html:text tag issue
Hello,
To abide by Section 508 compliance I need to associate my form inputs
with a <label> tag. I therefore tried to add in an "id" attribute to my
html:text tag (which is using the TextTag object). While the page
rendered successfully ( I did modify my .tld file to correct a rendering
error), the text inputs did not have the id attribute with them and
therefore, some of the assistive technology we have for testing
(particularly Narrator which we do have to accommodate) failed to
identify the name of the input box. Is there a solution or work around
for this and if so where might I find it? I have scoured multiple sites
to no avail. Thanks.

Russell,
Try using the "styleId" attribute of the <html:text> element. It will
render an "id" attribute in the resulting <input> element.
