I'm updating the ecard module, and finally have the JS counter working, enforcing a max length on the message. I'm trying to get the counter to display, but since the form is rendered all at once, I can't find a way to simply insert a string (that doesn't have an associated input) anywhere to show the user. The workaround I found was to assign a class to the textarea's label. The Kohana docs say it should be possible, but when I try:

$group->textarea("text")
      ->label(t("Message"), array("class" => "charsRemaining"))
      ->id("g-text")
      ->maxlength(255)
      ->rules("required")
      ->error_messages("required", t("You must enter a message"));

The class is never assigned to the label. Is there a way to do this in the G3 framework?

just guessing here: 

$group->textarea("text")
      ->label(t("Message")
      ->class("charsRemaining")
      ->id("g-text")
      ->maxlength(255)
      ->rules("required")
      ->error_messages("required", t("You must enter a message"));

just a guess though. I'll ping bharat.

That assigns the class to the textarea, not the label.

You can use jQuery to find the right element once you have the class of the textarea...

it would be much slower than CSS

Yeah, I was kinda hoping to avoid jQuery to make this change, and have it done straight in CSS. It's OK for now, though, the little counter just doesn't show a real-time value for how many characters are left.
