This is the first time for me to see someone proposing use of <label><input /></label> structure.I agree that <ol> is not strictly necessary and that a form is not necessarily a list, but one could argue that you are dealing with a list of form input elements. Read more why I do this here: http://www.alistapart.com/articles/prettyaccessibleforms Using a list also gives better control over the look as I never do: float:left; clear: left; since that proves to cause cross browser issues more often than not. Cheers, Jason
