HTML Label Tag - W3Schools

HTML <label> Tag ❮ Previous Complete HTML Reference Next

Example

Three radio buttons with labels:

<form action="/action_page.php"> <input type="radio" id="html" name="fav_language" value="HTML"> <label for="html">HTML</label><br> <input type="radio" id="css" name="fav_language" value="CSS"> <label for="css">CSS</label><br> <input type="radio" id="javascript" name="fav_language" value="JavaScript"> <label for="javascript">JavaScript</label><br><br> <input type="submit" value="Submit"></form> Try it Yourself »

Definition and Usage

The <label> tag defines a label for several elements:

  • <input type="checkbox">
  • <input type="color">
  • <input type="date">
  • <input type="datetime-local">
  • <input type="email">
  • <input type="file">
  • <input type="month">
  • <input type="number">
  • <input type="password">
  • <input type="radio">
  • <input type="range">
  • <input type="search">
  • <input type="tel">
  • <input type="text">
  • <input type="time">
  • <input type="url">
  • <input type="week">
  • <meter>
  • <progress>
  • <select>
  • <textarea>

Proper use of labels with the elements above will benefit:

  • Screen reader users (will read out loud the label, when the user is focused on the element)
  • Users who have difficulty clicking on very small regions (such as checkboxes) - because when a user clicks the text within the <label> element, it toggles the input (this increases the hit area).

Tips and Notes

Tip: The for attribute of <label> must be equal to the id attribute of the related element to bind them together. A label can also be bound to an element by placing the element inside the <label> element.
