Custom JSP taglib. This taglib lets you add labels to you HTML pages. These labels are similar to well-known GUI elements in .NET or any Windows API. So labels are named objects with the ability to change value (label, caption) in run-time.

You have to define labels within of HTML forms or within of form tag. For example:
 

and you will get some like this:

Test

and this label is not a static HTML text. You may read current value in your server-side code:
 

E.g. for the above mentioned example: request.getParameter("label1").

You may change also this value with JavaScript:

name_for_your_form.name_for_your_label.value='new value';

You may allow edit mode for labels:
