HTML label Tag

The HTML label tag is used for adding a label to a form control.

If you use the label tag, in some browsers, users can select a radio button or checkbox option by clicking on its label.

Example


<p>Which fruit would you like for lunch?</p>
<form>
<input type="radio" name="fruit" id="banana" />
<label for="banana">Banana</label>
<br />
<input type="radio" name="fruit" id="None" />
<label for="none">None</label>
</form>
