This is wrong. The content model of LABEL includes all inline elements, including form controls. A few paragraphs before your link on W3.org, they include the following example: <LABEL> First Name <INPUT type="text" name="firstname"> </LABEL> <LABEL> <INPUT type="text" name="lastname"> Last Name </LABEL> This demonstrates that labels can be implicitly associated with form controls contained within the label element. As a sidenote, this is a very useful construct that is *not* supported by IE. Even with the form control contained within the LABEL element, the for attribute is still required to associate the label with the form control. As for why the label element is not visible in NS 6.2, I don't know. I just tried the same code in FireFox, and it seemed to work fine. It was probably a Netscape bug that has been fixed since 6.2. If I had to guess, I would say that labels for hidden form elements were also hidden. Sunu -- 1) What do you see when you view source in the browser for both Netscape and IE? 2) What happens if you use an input type='text' instead of input type='hidden'? 3) Does it even make sense to have a label on a hidden form control? -- Jeff Beal Webmedx, Inc.
