Approach 1: Hiding the label element In this approach, the <label> element is provided to identify a form control within the code, but it is visually hidden to avoid redundancy for users who can derive the purpose from the visual cues.

Labels describe the purpose and function of form elements: for example, the label month next to a dropdown menu listing the months of the year, or the label first name next to a text input field. Labels are critical because they tell the user what information to provide in the form element.

The for attribute specifies which form element the label is bound to. The label element allows the user to give focus to a form element by clicking on an associate label. If you do not use the for attribute, this association will not be made.

The for attribute associates the label with a control element, as defined in the description of label in the HTML 4.01 spec. This implies, among other things, that when the label element receives focus (e.g. by being clicked on), it passes the focus on to its associated control.
