Re: One Visible Label - Two Associated Input Fields

You will want to label the fields using either the title attribute or aria-label. Date of Birth would not provide sufficient information to tell you what to put in each of the two fields but title="Birth Month" and title="Birth Year" would make it clear. An alternative would be just to use one field for Date of Birth.
