Fieldset/legend assign one label to multiple controls: http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40/interact/forms.html#edef-FIELDSET Assigning multiple labels to a single control isn't generally possible as far as I know, unless you use multiple layers of headings in tables and have a tool that lets you find out what all the headers are (tablin can do this as a proxy service, but I don't know of a stand-alone browser that manages it). You can use a label inside a fieldset, which lets you have two ways of labelling the same thing. cheers Chaals
