The WAVE accessibility checker gives errors for <label> tags which don't have a 'for' attribute. Although this doesn't seem to be required by the WCAG specification itself, it would be nice to remove these so that Mahara's pages validate properly.
Affects the following areas
- Pieforms labels when the element doesn't use the correct ID (eg. for radio buttons the automatically generated label ends up not linking to anything)
- Profile sideblock ("My Groups" and "Artefacts" use the label tag unnecessarily)
- When editing the pages in a collection, the page titles use the label tag unnecessarily (it would be nice to change them to headings)
- On a group's "About" page the statistics ("Created", "Members", etc) use the label tag
- On a group's "Forums" page the "Group administrators" text uses the label tag
In all these cases the label tag should be changed to something more appropriate (<strong>, <h3>, etc) or the "for" attribute should be removed and aria-labelledby added to any elements which the label should describe
