Hi TIA,
in Nicks' example, which i was referring to, there were label elements
inside other label elements wrapped around a form control,
which is not valid,
but thanks for pointing out about the explicit [for/id] association of
multiple labels to a control, it hadn't occured to me before.
I will do some testing with assitive tech to see how they handle multiple
explicit labels.
with regards
Steven Faulkner

Please respond to

Multiple labels for a single form control is valid HTML, however a
single label for multiple form controls is not:

Steven, can you be more specific about the barriers multiple labels
present?
TIA
