Hello,

I wish to use the same label for 2 separate inputs but what to know how or
if it is even allowed.

Example:
I have a form with 5 options the last being 'other:' with an option to enter
the 'other' in a type="text". Now can I use the one label tag or should I
use two or shouldn't I do this at all.

e.g.

<input type="text" id="option21" name="option21" maxlength="1" size="1">
<label for="option21,other"><strong>Other:</strong></label>
<input type="text" id="other" name="other" maxlength="30">

-OR-

<input type="text" id="option21" name="option21" maxlength="1" size="1">
<label for="option21"><label
for="other"><strong>Other:</strong></label></label>
<input type="text" id="other" name="other" maxlength="30">

Thanks,
