input elements, with type of "checkbox", have an explicitly associated label.Copyright 2005, ATRC, University Of Toronto, All Rights Reserved. W3C liability, trademark, document use and software licensing rules apply.
This test case was created by the ATRC at the University Of Toronto. It should not be construed as required for conformance with the proposed WCAG2.
The complete list of tests may be found at http://www.w3.org/WAI/GL/WCAG20/tests/
Comments on this test may be made to the WCAG mailing list.
As part of the conformance test process, this test has a status of 'accepted'.
Guideline: 1.3 - Ensure that information, functionality, and structure can be separated from presentation.
