[thelist] post form element information & accessibility.

[Gavin Montague]

Here's a quickie...

<label> Your name: <input type="text" name="name" /></label>

I've stripped it down for simplicity but I'm sure you get the idea.

Scenario is that the user submits without filling in the field.  So 
they get the page back with a helpful summary of all error messages
across the top of the page and each specific error message (or a 
marker) placed next to the bad field.

My question is:  where should the 2nd error message go semantically?

<label> Your Name *error msg* : <input...></label>
<label> Your Name  : <input.../>*error msg*</label>
<label> Your Name  : <input.../></label>*error msg*
*error msg*<label> Your Name  : <input...></label>

  Or none of the above?  Can the error be considered part of the label?  
Certainly it's specifically associated with the the field, but is it, 
strictly speaking, a label?

I'm not sure there's a clear cut answer to this.  I've not come across 
anyone addressing this before.
