Re: One question: regarding label for attribute

I recently heard that wrapping an input tag with a label tag, and
also using the for attribute on the label to associate it with the
input, will cause VoiceOver on the Mac to read the label twice. I
haven't verified this, however. Has anyone else noticed this
behavior?

But even if it is true, it's probably better to have it read twice in
one screen reader, than not at all in another.
