Using HTML::FormFu, how do I generate an id on the div that wraps the actual control? If I put an id in the element block of the config, it goes on the input element itself, and is cross referenced by the for attribute of the label, but does nothing to the enclosing div. And CSS can't select based on children's features.

I also want to put the checkbox label to the right of the box, and the documented reverse_single didn't do anything to it.

On a related note, how do I make the checkbox initially checked when the form is displayed with no data? The value is already 1, and I guess that's what it would be if it was set.

What I want to do is display a text area, and under that a submit button on the left, and a checkbox with "CC me" on the right, on the same level as the button.
