Question

I’m currently wondering when to use clean text (not wrapped inside eg. <p> tags) in html documents.

i have a input fiels which i want some text before like:

<p>Age:</p> <input type="text" name="age">

But using the p tags as above will result in a linebreak between the two. However if I leave out the p tags this problem is no more.

My question is then wether it is OK to leave out the tags, and what in is interpreted as,

Thanks

Though there are many solutions as Webarto said you can style the p tag, or you can use span or label…People usually use label..I’ll tell you why..

In good web designing principles one thing comes very important..

If you have some checkbox, or radiobutton, or textfield anything in your form then it should be selected just by clicking on the label assosiated with it..User should not search for the
radiobutton and then click, as it is very small, it should be triggered just by clicking the label, user should not search for the textfield and then click inside it and then type..

<label for="id of input element"> attribute provides that function

Hence people prefer

 <label>
