Making labels wrap

Hi, I have a few labels (on radio buttons) that are VERY long. I can't get
them to wrap though. selectOneRadio will put nowrap on the td that surrounds
the label. I've tried putting the css white-space tag everywhere I could.

 

I could probably redesign the page to eliminate this, but I'd like to know
if there are options I've overlooking.

 

Thanks.

Dan

If you're using outputLabel in conjunction with an input
component, you should set simple="true" on the input
component.

Then you'd
  - Also set required="true" on the outputLabel to get the
    icon in the right spot
  - Also add a tr:message to get the help text to show

I have experienced the same problem.  I tried tr:outputLabel and that  
wraps, but if the field is required, then the designator shows up  
alongside the first radio button.  There's no way that I found to  
have it place the required indicator near the text.  Help text for  
the control is also broken.
