I have:

<label for=”x”>Label Name: <input name=”x” id=”x” … /></label>

My buddy has:

<p><label for=”x”>Label Name:</label> <input name=”x” id=”x” … /></p>

Both in XHTML 1.0 Strict. Both validate. However, both are a different approach and i’m curious to get opinions on the subject…

@NogDogJan 28.2005 — <i>
</i>[i]explicitly associate label with form element 'test':[/i]
&lt;label for="test"&gt;Test: &lt;/label&gt;&lt;input id="test" type="text" /&gt;

[i]implicitly associate label with form element 'test':[/i]
&lt;label&gt;Test: &lt;input id="test" type="text" /&gt;&lt;/label&gt;
