Hi Elaine,

Use the title attribute on the fields whose contents don't have
corresponding text that would be selected with the LABEL element ala
http://jimthatcher.com/webcourse8.htm#webcourse8.6. Since the time of
writing that, the major screen readers and IBM home page reader all support
the title attribute.
