Subject: label tag with form elements
No previous message | Next message →

If you're using the "for" attribute in the label tag, is there any reason
to also wrap the input in the label tag?

Any benefit to this:

<label for="myinput">Label text<input id="myinput" type="text"
name="textfield"></label>

over this:

<label for="myinput">Label text</label>
<input id="myinput" type="text" name="textfield">

Thanks,
Mickey

I use that construct if I want to put error messages after the input field,
but still within the label.

Eg:
<label for="email">Your email address
<input type="text" id="email"><br>
<span class="error">Please check email format</span></label>

That construct didn't used to work in Supernova. Does it work now?

If supernova cannot support a code pattern that has been defined in a
standard and accessibility supported in browsers for a decade, I would
suggest it is a major bug in Supernova and needs to be fixed.

We cannot expect developers to avoid the use of standardised, interoperably
implemented, HTML code patterns because on piece of software is substandard.
