Re: Section 508 - Form Field Label

No, there is no explicit association between the label and the checkbox. I
assume the asterisk is a required field? If so, include that in explicit
label markup. An id attribute must be set in the checkbox. That "id"
attribute must match the "for" attribute of the corresponding LABEL tag.

For Example:
<div *title='CBP'>*
*<input type='checkbox' igchk='1' id="someID" class='igt_align'><label
for="someID">*<span igtxt='1' class="
">CBP</span></label></div>
