That's at best poorly written code. They've included the search text
input field *inside* the text label for the input field, i.e.,
<label for="FIELDNAME">Enter keywords or serial number <input
type="TEXT" id="FIELDNAME"></label>
It should be:
<label for="FIELDNAME">Enter keywords or serial number</label><input
type="TEXT" id="FIELDNAME">
I don't know where you get that information. Input fields are just fine
nested in a label. The label is implicitly associated with the form
field and there's no need for 'id' and 'for' attributes that way
<http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/interact/forms.html#edef-LABEL>:
To associate a label with another control implicitly, the control
element must be within the contents of the LABEL element. In this
case, the LABEL may only contain one control element. The label itself
may be positioned before or after the associated control.
I'm quite familiar with the standard. My interpretation is that you can
use the explicit for/id method *or* the implicit method without the
for/id. Using both clearly confuses a certain browser near to our
hearts and is, IMHO, poorly written code.
But we digress...
