Thanks for clarifying this to readers. Now the reason I do wrap my <input> with my <label> is that it gives more freedom to style. I like to set the label as an block level element with css so that I can avoid using extra Break or Paragraph tags in the forms. This method is detailed by The Man In Blue under Additional Resources in the post above. Hi Jason,

I have found since I started using labels, it's really annoying when I come across a site that doesn't use them. One thing to add is you don't have to wrap the input within the label. So depending on your form layout and css you have the option to put the input inside the label or outside of it. Good information!
