Hello,
I have a question about my usage of label as follows.... (sort of a combo
html/css question)
<p>
<label>Field Name</label>Field Data
</p>
Now I know that a lable is generally associated with a form field, but my
question comes from how I style this html. I could use <strong> or <em>
instead of <label> here, but the use of those tag implies to me that I'll be
emphasing the field name and not the data. In come cases, emphasing the
field data might make more sense (or look better) and sometimes emphasing
the data itself might make more sense (or look better). I'd prefer my html
not imply that the field name be emphasied and that I make that decision via
css, by styling the label or the text seperately. So to me, label is a more
generic tag that makes stll makes sense in it's context and doesn't imply
that the field name is bold or emphasized etc.
So, is my usage of label here not recommended? Or is it fine?
Thanks,

Sounds like this may be a job for <th>.

The advantage of everybody using a standard markup language, where the
meaning of each element is agreed, is that its (relatively) easy to write
software that understands everybody's documents. "To me" doesn't really
have a place in that philosophy.

Ok, agreed. I guess I'll go with <em> then as this is definitely not
tabular data, and therefore <th> is out of the question.
Thanks for the response.

Wait! If it's a label for a form control, you should stick with the
label element. You can style it with CSS, if you want to.

Why can't you use <dt><dd>?

Hallo,
In a form I have several text or checkbox inputs with their
appropriate labels. I'd like to keep label and input together, so I
connect them with a , like:

Apparently this doesn't work in Firefox 2. It works in IExplorer and
