Label For and I D

The Label For identifier is used in conjunction with the Input I D identifier to associate a text label with data input. Although forms can be made accessible through linear structure, using the Label For and ID identifiers will ensure that screen readers properly link labels and input.

For more detail see the Forms page.

Code Example:

<tr>
<td>
<label for:"FirstName">First name:</label>
</td>
 
<td> 
<input type="text" name="fn" id="FirstName">
</td>

</tr>

Browsers

Internet Explorer supports the Label For and I D identifiers. Netscape Navigator does not.
