Summary  
The chapter explains how to link text labels to form input elements by using the HTML `<label>` tag’s `for` attribute paired with the input’s `id`, improving accessibility and enabling automatic focus when the label is clicked.

General domain of usage  
Web forms


<u>Labels (`<label>`) are essential for linking text labels with form input elements</u>, enhancing accessibility and user-friendliness. It's crucial that **the `for` attribute of the** `<label>` **tag matches the** `id` **attribute of the associated** `input` **element.** <br>**Example**:
```html
<label for="username">Username:</label>
<input type="text" id="username" />
```
In the example above:
- When you click the `Username:` label, it will automatically focus on the corresponding input field;
- The `label` and `input` are linked together using the `for` and `id` attributes, respectively;
- Both `for` and `id` attributes have the same value (`username`).

Let's make filling in the form easier by adding labels to the inputs from the previous example.
