Re:[WSG] Validation problem
Hi Kim, If you use a label element with that particular SELECT field (the one named "select"), then that should solve it. The phrasing of the Cynthia results page suggests that there are alternative methods to pass this particular checkpoint without using a label, but I don't know of one. Hope that helps.

Re: [WSG] Validation problem
Hi Kim, You need to associate a label * with your select element. For instance: * Please choose Vælg her Sort/Grøn Hvid/Blå Sæt accesskeys Substituting 'Please choose' with something indicative of the select elements choices.

Could someone please explain it to me? Thanks a lot You don't have a label for the select menu on the left hand side. You need to have a text label for every form element and ideally associate it with the relevant form control using an ID in the form control and for="theID" in the label tag around the label text.
