label for tag

Hi, 
Is there any tags in struts for the html label tag.

for example  like this, 

<label for="firstname">First Name</label><input
type="text" id="firstname">

is this going to be a future feature or is it already
implemented.

regards
Ashok

hi Jeff,
I guess i was not clear in my email.

The <label for....> is used if you want the focus to
be moved to the html form component when any user
clicks on the label description. In the example i had
typed, if you clicked on "first Name", it will move
the cursor to the text box.

you can look at this link for additional info :

Sorry if I miss your question, but there is something like this:

	<bean:message key="journalForm.date.displayname"/>
          <html:text property="date"/>
          <html:errors property="date" bundle="VALIDATOR_BUNDLE"/>

bean:message lets me output a value from a 
ApplicationResources.properties file
that I might use as the label for a date entry field.

html:text is of course the text entry field for a field named 'date' on 
my form

html:errors is the message I will display if there is a validation 
error,

don't know if that helps or not...

There's no reason to not use the <label> tag. 

If you want to externalize the label text you can use a struts tag:

<label for="firstname">First Name</label><input
  <bean:message key="prompt.firstName"/>
</label>
<html:text property="firstName" styleId="firstname"/>
