I assumed the image in your example was invisible. If the image is visible then the label construct as you wrote it is correct. The hack I am talking about is using an invisible image rather than label with on-screen text or title attribute if there is no on-screen text. Paul asked - 1. Can images be used as form labels? Jim: Sure, if they are visible; then alt gives the text equivalent. 2. If yes, how do we communicate the label text? Jim: and the label element connects the alt-text to the input element.
