The test case is intended to fail because the label is not explicitly associated with the input field.
Automatic evaluation.
“Rules” refer to success criteria in WCAG 2.0, checkpoints in WCAG 1.0 and similar requirements.
The test case fails the following success criterion at line 11, column 1: http://www.w3.org/TR/2007/WD-WCAG20-20070517/Overview.html#content-structure-separation-programmatic.
The input element associated with the label only through positioning.
The input element should have an explicit associated label.
The test case maps to failure F68: Failure of SC 1.3.1 and 4.1.2 due to the association of label and user interface controls not being programmatically determinable.
The test case fails the following success criterion at line 13, column 38: http://www.w3.org/TR/2006/WD-WCAG20-20060427/guidelines.html#content-structure-separation-programmatic.
The input element associated with the label only through positioning.
The input element should have an explicit associated label.
This test case maps to technique H44: Using label elements to associate text labels with form controls (http://www.w3.org/TR/2006/WD-WCAG20-TECHS-20060427/Overview.html#H44) but fails the test.
