Folks:

I was wondering if you can style field labels that are generated by the custom field loops. Right now the labels come up with no style at all.

What version and build of EE are you using? What labels exactly are you talking about, where?

Using 1.6.9.

In the SAEF you’ll use something like this:

{custom_fields}
{if textarea}
<textarea name="{field_name}" dir="{text_direction}" cols="50" rows="{rows}">{field_data}</textarea></p>
{/if}

etc….

{/custom_fields}

This will automatically add the field label above the text area but the label has no styling. I’d like to apply some HTML tags to the label.

porthos,

You are free to add your own markup to the SAEF. You could do something like the following

<div id="customFields">
{custom_fields}

{if textarea}
<textarea name="{field_name}" dir="{text_direction}" cols="50" rows="{rows}">{field_data}</textarea></p>
{/if}

etc….

{/custom_fields}  
</div>

Then target labels in your CSS

#customFields label{
  font-size:11px;
  color:#ff00d2;
}

Does that help?

Almost but not quite. This will affect everything in the div. If there is explanatory text, that too will be affected.

I probably wasn’t exactly clear. There is no individual “label” tag. In the output, the labels are straight text with no tags at all.

If I could somehow wrap the label text in tag, that’d be good but I don’t see anything in the SAEF code that will allow that.

Stephen,

I am just questioning the fact that there is no label markup in the rendered output with the dev team. We will respond here when we have an answer.

Stephen,

This would be a feature request. You are however able to build out those custom fields for your self. Check this Wiki article for more detail

Thanks John. I suspected I’d have to hard code the form.

Glad to see John Henry was able to clear things up. Please post again as needed.
