Hi,

Doesn't look like valid code to me.

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" "http://www.w3.org/ TR/html4/strict.dtd"><html>
<head>
<title>blah</title>
</head>
<body>
<form action="">
<div>
<label for="searchBox">
    <input type="text" id="searchBox" name="q">
    <button type="submit">Search</button>
</label>
</div>
</form>
</body>

NOW it's valid ;-)

I'm not making assumptions. I'm saying that, for sighted users,
having a text input box with no visible label and a button that
says "Search" immediately next to it is labelling enough.


Surely

<label for="searchBox">
    <input type="text" id="searchBox" name="q">
    <button type="submit">Search</button>
</label>

would therefore keep everybody happy?

(Or does it matter if focus is switched to the text field as the form
is submitted - sounds like the kind of odd case that A Certain
Browser might get unreasonably petulant about...)

Regards,

Nick.
