Issue

  • I have a form with any number of fields
  • I access the form for submission
  • If I hover my cursor over the title of the fields, it changes to a pointer icon (glove)
  • This gives an impression to the users that there is a clickable link

Environment

  • Liferay DXP 7.1

Resolution

  • This behavior is intended.
  • The reason we have the pointer icon is that clicking on the label actually does result in an action.
  • If your page's focus is not on any field of the form, the focus goes directly to that field when you click any of these labels.
  • This is caused by the use of the for attribute inside the HTML label tag.
