I am not sure my original message was explicit enough, but the HTML code:
<span class="gwt-CheckBox"><input id="gwt-uid-3" type="checkbox"
tabindex="0"/>
<label for="gwt-uid-3">arts</label>
</span>
was generated by GWT:
CheckBox cb = new CheckBox("arts");
so GWT does it already for an input type='checkbox', it could do it for any
element that 'label' can attach to.
What bugs me too is that I can't place the text before the checkbox or in
another cell of a table. Maybe we should file a feature request if it
doesn't exist.
