apex:outputLabel

A label for an input or output field. Use this component to provide a label for a controller method that does not correspond to a field on a Salesforce object.

This component supports HTML pass-through attributes using the “html-” prefix. Pass-through attributes are attached to the generated <label> tag.

Example

1<apex:outputLabel value="Checkbox" for="theCheckbox"/>
2<apex:inputCheckbox value="{!inputValue}" id="theCheckbox"/>

The example above renders the following HTML:

1<label for="theCheckbox">Checkbox</label>
2<input id="theCheckbox" type="checkbox" name="theCheckbox" />
