Re: Form Labels

I have handled it by placing a label on each of the select lists. However, so it doesn't
clutter up the screen for the sighted users I have applied a hidden class to the label.

<style>
.hidden {display: none}
</style>

<label for="day" class="hidden">Date Day</label>
<select id="day">....</select>
<label for="month" class="hidden">Date month</label>
<select id="month">....</select>
<label for="year" class="hidden">Date Year</label>
<select id="year">....</select>

If anyone else has a better idea, I'm open to suggestions.
