In this article, we will learn how to define a label for an input element by using a <label> tag. It is used to provide a usability improvement for mouse users i.e. if a user clicks on the text within the label element, it toggles the control. The label tag defines the label for the button or text area element.

Syntax:

<label> form content... </label>

Example:




<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  
<head>
    <title>
        Define a label for 
        an input element
    </title>
  
    <style>
        body {
            font-size: 20px;
        }
    </style>
</head>
  
<body style="text-align:center">
  
    <h1 style="color:green">
