RE: labeling form elements for time

Mary,

Use the title attribute. It is supported by the major screen readers and
HPR.

This is one of the situations where title is almost required because the
label text doesn't work, like two fields for zip+4 and three for a telephone
number.

This and many other tips in the new book "Constructing Accessible Web
Sites," now available from Amazon:

I recommend it. Authors include myself and WebAIM's own Paul Bohman.
