I have a form (not my design) that needs be made accessible. You will see by the code that there is a combination of radio buttons and input fields. I have included a bit of the code as that may be easier than any explanation I can give. I've never seen this kind of setup before and am unsure as to how it should be handled. I know that <label> must be added to the input fields especially since they are in different table rows. But what do I do with the radio buttons? They are "sharing" the same text label.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

<table border="0">
<tr>
<td colspan="2"><b>Candidate:</b></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><input type="radio" name="ctrecipient" value="ct_acct">&nbsp;&nbsp;
Committee:</td>
<td> <INPUT size="25" name="iacct_name" ID="iacct_name"></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td colspan="2">or</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><input type="radio" name="ctrecipient" value="ct_nm">&nbsp;&nbsp; Candidate: </td>
<td><table border="0">
<tr>
<td>First Name: </td>
<td>Last Name: </td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><INPUT size="25" name="icand_fname" ID="icand_fname"></td>
<td><INPUT size="25" name="icand_lname" ID="icand_lname"></td>
</tr>
</table>
</td>
</tr>
