Where should labels be positioned?

Labels for most fields are positioned immediately before the field, that is, for left-to-right languages, either to the left of the field or above it, and for right-to-left languages, to the right of the field or above it. Labels for radio buttons and checkboxes are positioned after the field.

How do I add a label to a form?

To explicitly associate a label with a form control, include the for attribute in the label using the id of the form control as the for attribute's value. For improved accessibility, always include a <label> for every form control. Clicking on a form control's <label> will give focus on the form control.

Does label go before or after input?

When using input elements of “type” checkbox and radio the label element should always be placed after the <input> element. Label elements should be associate with the following form elements: Input type = "text" Input type = "checkbox"

Do you need labels for forms?

Answer. It is best to ensure that all form inputs have a visible label. Visible labels help users understand the input's purpose. Placeholder text does not suffice and should not be considered as "good enough".
