Your question is confusing. Are you asking how to make VoiceOver read
the type of HTML control (e.g. textarea vs input type text)? If that's
the problem, then do you have an example of a page where VoiceOver does
what you want.
Or are you asking how to make VoiceOver read the label of that
particular control (e.g. "Comments")? If the later, I suggest you read:
http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/interact/forms.html
and
http://www.webaim.org/techniques/forms/
And see if those answer your question.
Either way, it's very difficult to debug HTML without seeing the source.
If you can't supply a URL to your markup, how about a pastebin post?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pastebin for an explanation.
http://paste.css-standards.org/ for an example pastebin service.
Tip: To help would-be debuggers, make sure your HTML validates before
pasting. For an explanation of why this is important, see:

I have a question for you HTML types.
How do you make a text box where you submit comments say what it is when
you tab over it in Safari? This text area tag does not appear to work.
VO only says "edit box" or something when I tab across it. I can't
give you a link, but I am sure you have seen those boxes where there is
no label but you are allowed to put text in.
