Form Labels & Lift

for

Hi everyone,

I'm using the Lift program with Dreamweaver and I'm getting an error on my
form labels. We have a database set up that automatically makes an ID for
our form labels. In Lift it's telling me the form label is invalid. If I
try to use the form wizard on it, it doesn't like the ID I put in. I have
two theories, can someone tell me if either of these are correct and if not,
what is the problem.

1 - the ID cannot begin with a number (although i saw an example of this on
w3c.org)
2 - the label is AFTER the form element in the table. Does the label have
to be before the form element?

Here's an example of the page, without images and css.
