<tr>
<td><span id="bar">Birthday</span></td>

day"> / </td>
<td><input type="text" name="month" size="2" aria-labelledby="bar
month"> / </td>
<td><input type="text" name="year" size="4" aria-labelledby="bar
year"></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td></td>
<td><span id="day" aria-label="day as a 2 digit
value">DD</span></td>
<td><span id="month" aria-label="month as a 2 digit
value">MM</span></td>
<td><span id="year" aria-label="year as a 4 digit
value">YYYY</span></td>
</tr>
</table>
<input type="submit" value="Go">
</form>
