An <label>
element associates a text label with a form <input>
field and is implemented using the DOM HTMLLabelElement
interface. The label can tell users what value should be entered in the input field. Having labels helps the accessibility of a form. You can implicitly or explicitly associate a label with a form. When doing it explicitly, you use the for attribute
, and implicitly, you nest the <input>
directly inside the <label>
.
