Do you think that if a control does not have a label that an author might create one to satisfy the recommendation? If so, we might want to include a submit button with out a label in the example and follow it with a statement along the lines of: This guideline does not apply to controls that do not have labels such as submit buttons and hidden controls. (or in the positive: This guideline only applies to controls that have labels and not to controls such as submit buttons and hidden controls). However, since we don't require every control to have a label, it might not be a problem. it's perfectly clear to me <smile> thoughts? --wendy At 11:06 AM 4/7/98 , Josh Krieger wrote: >In regards to: 10.2.
