This associates each label or description with a form control. If the description applies to an entire container such as a groupbox or panel, then associate it with the id for that. This makes the label and description text get spoken at appropriate times by screen readers. <em>No, only label supports the control attribute. - Neil</em> Please use the control attribute!

I tried with textnode, only to find that the text wouldn't break. I wrote a post related to this a long time ago, due to a lot of suffering experienced when handling text + templates:

Hi,

neither solution is nice to me :
- the textnode solution does not respects embedded “\n” in template filling of description
- Jorge Solution does respect embedded “\n” but I can’t have those textboxes to expand verticaly correctly and i get a scrollbar if text is “too long”

any idea ?
