Do not combine two or more of these, as assistive tech will often read duplicate text.<\/p><h4>1. Hidden &lt;label&gt; (Off-Screen)<\/h4><p>You can place a &lt;label&gt; element adjacent to the control, but use CSS to move it off-screen. The label remains visible in the DOM for assistive technologies, and clicking it still focuses the associated control (provided you use for=&#8221;\u2026&#8221;).
