Re: [WSG] Accessible Forms - empty labels (??)

Should I wrap a label around the input element and then hide it using css? How do I get around this accessibility issue? I know I'm rather old-fashioned, by why not display text beforehand? Search for: It's explicit rather than implicit what is required in that field. I regularly run into problems with forms because apparently everybody is supposed to know what goes in them (I have to spend time figuring it out). But I suppose it's all down to what happens in your user testing :) Kat *** List Guidelines: http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm Unsubscribe: http://webstandardsgroup.org/join/unsubscribe.cfm Help: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ***

Surely Search would therefore keep everybody happy?
