yes there is a difference. There are two parts to the extent widget, a label and the actual extent. The extent is normally output as a static text value styled by 'widgetclass' and 'widgetstyle' but in JSAPI mode it is actually a textbox and uses the same classes. Labelstyle and labelclass are used by the Label attribute group. I would like to actually remove the Label attribute group from most, if not all, widgets as it serves almost no purpose in most cases (at least not one that cannot be accomplished by other means). However, I'm not sure if we should make this change now or post 2.0?
I vote for making any "sweeping" changes to how we handle/include attribute groups post-2.0. If they are not doing any "harm" being there in their current way, then I'd leave them as is at this time. I'm getting the feeling we need to have a significant relook at the attribute groups in general.
ok I agree with both paul and darren. lets change this bug to a documentation issue. :) Jeff, please make sure comment #2 explanation is found in the widget docs. changeing component from Widget to Documentation
