A group of related form controls really belong together in a fieldset with a legend. Each control can then be labelled correctly. Additional 'how to use' instructions can be provided in the title attribute of each form control.

Example:

<fieldset><legend>Please select your age</legend>
<label for="agegroup1">
<input type="radio" name="age" id="agegroup1" title="select this if you are aged between 18 and 24"/> 18-24
</label>
<label for="agegroup2">
<input type="radio" name="age" id="agegroup2" title="select this if you are aged between 25 and 34"/> 25-34
</label>
<fieldset>


@Ted
...perhaps you can make a two part form. Get the number of travellers first, and then return that number of fields to get the ages?

Don't hide your labels. You may be able to trick bobby in giving you a AAA rating but hiding them won't help the accessibility of your site.

How do people know what to put into these inputs? Surely each one needs a label of some kind?
