Partick and Mike, thank you. It passed now.

Partrick, the example from the usability site is clear and easy to
understand - I often  fail to understand the same English that is written in
W3C site.

Tee,

Possibly associate labels:

 text description 

Or better still:

text description


But make sure you don't repeat id's.

Hi, Can you tell me what did I do wrong?

 

 * Failure - INPUT Element, of Type TEXT, found at Line: 173, Column: 6

I changed the id to 'value' and it showed different error.

Rule: 1.1.2 - All INPUT elements are required to contain the alt attribute or 
use a LABEL.

Below are the input area that didn't pass the Cynthia Says Report The url: 
 Page is xhtml strict.

* Failure - INPUT Element, of Type TEXT, found at Line: 173, Column: 6
* Failure - INPUT Element, of Type TEXT, found at Line: 194, Column: 6
* Failure - INPUT Element, of Type TEXT, found at Line: 212, Column: 6
* Warning - INPUT Element found at Line: 215, Column: 24 uses an implicit 
label, which is not recommended.
* Failure - INPUT Element, of Type TEXT, found at Line: 230, Column: 6
* Warning - INPUT Element found at Line: 283, Column: 26 uses an implicit 
label, which is not recommended.


Thanks.
