About Label<\/h2>\n\n

The <label><\/em><\/strong> element is used to reference a form action element. In the scope of User Interface<\/strong> it’s used to ease the target \/ selection of elements like Type radio or checkbox.<\/p>\n\n

<label><\/em><\/strong> as wrapper<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

It can enclose the desired action element<\/p>\n\n

<label>\n <input type=\"checkbox\" name=\"Cats\">\n I like Cats!\n<\/label><\/pre>\n\n
(Clicking on the text the target input will toggle it’s state \/ value)<\/p>\n\n
<label><\/em>as reference<\/strong><\/p>\n\n
Using the for attribute you don’t have to place the control element as descendant of label<\/em> – but the for value must
match it’s ID<\/p>\n\n
<input id=\"cats\" type=\"checkbox\" name=\"Cats\">\n<label for=\"cats\" >I like Cats!<\/label>\n<\/pre>\n\n
Note<\/strong><\/p>\n\n
Don’t use more than one Control Element within a <label><\/em><\/strong> element<\/p>\n\n
