To Whom It May Concern: My name is Ming Teo, I work as a front-end developer in Perth, Western Australia. I had a concern regarding the use of checkboxes and radio buttons. Firstly, as every form element should have a label with attribute for="form_element", and every input thus has a name with attribute name="form_element", the use of checkboxes and radio buttons fails. <label for="choose">First Option</label> <input type="radio" name="choose" value="First Option" /> <label for="choose">Second Option</label> <input type="radio" name="choose" value="Second Option" /> and the same for checkboxes: <label for="choose">First Option</label> <input type="checkbox" name="choose" value="First Option" /> <label for="choose">Second Option</label> <input type="checkbox" name="choose" value="Second Option" /> However, implemented like select boxes: <label for="choose">Choose one:</label> <radio name="choose"> <option value="First Option">First Option</option> <option value="Second Option">Second Option</option> </radio> and the same for checkboxes: <label for="choose">Choose one:</label> <checkbox name="choose"> <option value="First Option">First Option</option> <option value="Second Option">Second Option</option> </checkbox> ... meets the requirements of no two labels have the same for attribute value, and no two inputs have the same name. While I'm on the subject, <option value="First Option" /> makes more sense also. Thank you for your time, sorry if this sounds a lot like a complaint :) -- *Guan Ming Teo* Web Developer Highway 1 Highway 1 Internet Solutions Level 2, 33 Richardson St. WEST PERTH WA 6005 Australia http://www.highway1.com.au/Received on Friday, 30 September 2005 22:55:01 GMT
