Why are you using labels that are not connected to their fields?

    Nice little plugin but I was really suprised that you’ve developed a form plugin that doesn’t have connected labels.

    It’s not the first time I stumble upon form labels not used correctly. Apparently not everyone knows that the label should be clickable to activate it’s form object. You can try it on a well built form (like the one’s inside WordPress) to know what I mean.

    A label should always have it’s attribute for pointing to a corresponding ID of a form object.

    To clearify:

    <form>
   <label for="a">I'm a label for textfield a</label>
   <input type="text" id="a" />

   <label for="b">I'm a label for textfield b …
   <input type="text" id="b" />
   … continuing over here</label>

 </form>
