Hello Thomas,
How does screenreaders treat using just
<label><input/></label>?
I'm writing an article on just that thing now. Jaws is okay with it, but
Windows Eyes chokes on it. That in itself may not be too-too important due
to the number of users, but I'm 99.99% sure that Safari on Mac users will
have difficulty (at best) actually inputting content in such a form input. I
can't replicate this on Safari for Windows, but I have gotten lots of
feedback to go on.
I actually just updated both of my version two contact forms today to
correct this (v3 was already fixed). I've been fixing forms all day
actually.
I have come to the conclusion that the only proper method is...
<label for="foo">Foo Text</label>
<input id="foo">
Though I suppose <input alt="Foo Text"> would also be okay.
Cheers.
Mike

hm... this thread has given me a thinker.
How does screenreaders treat using just <label><input/></label>?
<form>
<fieldset>
<label>Foo: <input id="foo"/></label>
<label>Bar: <input id="bar"/></label>
</fieldset>
</form>
How will it present the form? If it's all inline, will it be read
continuous, or will there be a break between the elements?

Well done Alexey!
Are we not confusing semantics with presentational here?
if it is OK to strip the presentational out of a list element (when we use
a list for a navigation group and want our navigation elements in a row
instead of a column) what is wrong with supplanting the inline quality of a
label/input group by designating it a block element, and then group several
form elements, or even each label input group with fieldsets?
BTW: <br /> is the equivalent of a force carriage return and thus belongs
within paragraphs, i thought!

BRs? Are BRs semantically correct? I believe they aren't.
