RE: using table headers as form labels

Paul,

I have asked the question before. I finally drew the conclusion that there
is no good solution.

The only other idea I might suggest is to use the title attribute to label
all the controls.

I think as long as someone insists the labels must appear in a tabular
format, it is a difficult problem to solve. I do believe it can be solved
with the fieldset, legend, and label elements, but then you don't end up
with the table format people seem to prefer.
