Yes, the only difference between between the input in the label and
having it outside of the label with the for attribute set is primarily
just some formatting via CSS differences. Beyond that, there is little
difference. All modern browsers (and even most older ones) allow you to
click on the label to put your focus in the input that that the label is
referenced to, regardless of which way it is implemented.

When the LABEL element wraps around INPUT you do not need the FOR
attribute.The hierarchy provides the connection between them. However,
when the LABEL does not wrap around the INPUT, the FOR attribute is
required for useragent to know the elements are related.

Hi Germ17,I have seen your example presented in GERMWORKS.NETFYI,
your approach is perfect to my knowledge, but the <INPUT> element
should not wrapped by any <LABEL> element. It's not
compliant/accessible...I request you to modify this example
according to standards, if you believe
the same.
You're wrong there. It's perfectly valid HTML and I don't believe it
is any less accessible as long as the 'for' attribute is specified.
