Attributes for label
The for
attribute HTML label
tags include must have a value equal to the id
of an element. The label is applied to the first labelable element in the document that matches the specified value:
Example
<label for="phone">My Phone Number:</label>
<input type="text" value="" name="phoneNo" id="phone" size="30" placeholder="Provide your phone number">
The form
attribute was added in HTML5. It is also used to specify the element to label, but only works with <form> elements:
Example
<form id="userform">
<label for="uname">Username</label>
<input type="text" id="uname"><
<label for="pass" form="userform">Password</label>
<input type="password" id="pass">
<input type="submit" value="Submit">
</form>
