hi jeff, thanks for the great link, never would have found that!
Looking at the generated html the following is produced in the label for all the input controls on the subview assetForm:tab1:_idJsp39:entitySubForm Everything following the naming rules bellow except for the '_idJsp39'. It seems to much up with the <jsp:include> tag. Do u agree? I guess it is autogenerated which makes explicit naming of it not possible. Any ideas are most welcome. -lp Jeff Bischoff wrote: > > lp, > > This is not a bug. > > When referencing components in different naming containers in a "for" > attribute, a simple id is not sufficient.
