Thank you for your reply.   There was a typo #3, but the 'for' in #1
is a valid label option.  Actually, I copied the basic <input> and
<label> statements from the {{=form}}, but I eliminated the
information in #2 when was playing with the various options to see how
they effected the display.  I guess I introduced the typo during the
manipulation.

I never saw the 'for' option before, but found an explanation at
http://www.w3schools.com/tags/tag_label.asp.  FYI, it "Specifies which
form element a label is bound to".

Unfortunately, even after I checked and corrected all the syntax, I
still have the same issue with the display.  If you have any other
ideas I would greatly appreciate them.

Thanks and regards,
Gary
