AutoComplete for a label's "for" Attribute

[syrupcore]

I build a lot of forms. Most of my clients need the forms to be accessible and standards compliant so I always use a <label> tag which, according to the w3c, must use the 'for' attribute to let a user agent know the ID of form field labeling.

Code: Select all

		<label for="name">Name:</label>
		<input type="text" id="name" />

Is there any way to get autocomplete to search for IDs of inputs/textareas/selects... in the current form and offer them in the autocomplete dropdown? It'd be handy.

I often use a snippet to build forms. well, two.

one gets me setup:

Code: Select all

<form id="" action="">
	<fieldset>
		<legend class="accessibility"></legend>


		<button type="submit" value=""></button>
	</fieldset>
</form>

and then on the inside I'll use this to fill it up. sometimes it's just easier to type but this can be handy because it's asks you for the key bits and builds it.

Code: Select all

<label for="%[Label for?]%">%[Label Text]%</label>
<input type="%[Form Element Type]=[text]%" id="%[Element ID]%" />

thought I'd share in case some one finds it useful.

Not sure about this. Well, it is obviously possible, but how many of us do need this... again, everubody who needs this cast a vote.
