Do inputs have to have labels?
Not all inputs need labels
An input with a type="submit" or type="button" does not need a label — the value attribute acts as the accessible label text instead. An input with type="hidden" is also fine without a label.
Does select need a label?
Each select element must have a programmatically associated label element.
Can a select tag have a label?
Yes, it's valid and works fine.
Does label come before input?
Should labels be before or after their form controls? In all cases, except for radio buttons and checkboxes, the content of the label must come before the form control. In this mock-up example, the label element is placed before the input element. And this is how it would appear.
