I am totally aware of the non-complaint approaches of many of my "hero" sites....facebook, google, amazon *sob* but even so I am confident we are backing the right approach. Lables are more than just "pedantic semantic" coding - they serve to improve the dreaded form filling experience by ensuring the correct default tab-index behavior. More importantly they actually increase the size of target for several form elements (to get onfocus) on the form element you click the label text... I do love that little countdown thingy alice... I think there are all sorts of things we could do for some shiny ajaxian form validation.... - will discuss when we next go for wagamamas! nice post!
