Is <div> inside <label> block correct?
I am using Bootstrap, it's demo of horizontal form:
<form class="form-horizontal" role="form">
<div class="form-group">
<label for="inputEmail1" class="col-lg-2 control-label">Email</label>
<div class="col-lg-10">
<input type="email" class="form-control" id="inputEmail1">
</div>
</div>
</form>
but I don't want create ID for each <input>
, so
<form class="form-horizontal" role="form">
<div class="form-group">
<label class="block">
<span class="col-lg-2 control-label">Email</span>
<div class="col-lg-10">
<input type="email" class="form-control">
</div>
</label>
</div>
</form>
but display:block
can't be inside display:inline
, so I use CSS
.block {
display: block;
}
it's working, but is it correct? because I heard that we should not put display:block
element into display:inline
element (label
)
Solution 1:
No, HTML does not allow a <label>
to contain a <div>
.
See the specification for the label element:
Content model: Phrasing content, but with no descendant labelable elements unless it is the element's labeled control, and no descendant label elements.
Where phrasing content links to:
Phrasing content is the text of the document, as well as elements that mark up that text at the intra-paragraph level. Runs of phrasing content form paragraphs.
