What is this?
label associates text with a control via wrapping or for/id — required for accessibility.
Why should you care?
MarkupVerse forms never rely on placeholder alone as the only label.
See it live — copy this example
Save as demo.html and open in your browser, or use Run Example below.
<label for="acct">Account number</label>
<input id="acct" name="account" inputmode="numeric">
<label>
Remember device
<input type="checkbox" name="remember">
</label>Run Example »
Edit the code below and click Run to see the result in Toolliyo’s live editor.
What happened?
- Clicking the label focuses the control.
- Placeholders are hints, not labels.
- Visible labels always.
Practice next
- Wire for/id.
- Wrap a checkbox label.
- Remove placeholder-only labeling.
- Add aria-describedby hint.
- Style label with CSS only.
Remember
label + for/id. Visible text. Placeholder ≠ label.
MarkupVerse labeled fields
Account number has a real label.
Outcome: SR users hear the field name.
