: The Label element
The HTML element represents a caption for an item in a user interface.
Try it
Associating a with a form control, such as or offers some major advantages:
- The label text is not only visually associated with its corresponding text input; it is programmatically associated with it too. This means that, for example, a screen reader will read out the label when the user is focused on the form input, making it easier for an assistive technology user to understand what data should be entered.
- When a user clicks or touches/taps a label, the browser passes the focus to its associated input (the resulting event is also raised for the input). That increased hit area for focusing the input provides an advantage to anyone trying to activate it — including those using a touch-screen device.
To explicitly associate a element with an element, you first need to add the id attribute to the element. Next, you add the for attribute to the element, where the value of for is the same as the id in the element.
Alternatively, you can nest the directly inside the , in which case the for and id attributes are not needed because the association is implicit:
label> Do you like peas? input type="checkbox" name="peas" /> label>
The form control that a label is labeling is called the labeled control of the label element. Multiple labels can be associated with the same form control:
label for="username">Enter your username:label> input id="username" name="username" type="text" /> label for="username">Forgot your username?label>
Elements that can be associated with a element include , (except for type=»hidden» ), , , , and .
Attributes
This element includes the global attributes.
The value of the for attribute must be a single id for a labelable form-related element in the same document as the element. So, any given label element can be associated with only one form control.
Note: To programmatically set the for attribute, use htmlFor .
The first element in the document with an id attribute matching the value of the for attribute is the labeled control for this label element — if the element with that id is actually a labelable element. If it is not a labelable element, then the for attribute has no effect. If there are other elements that also match the id value, later in the document, they are not considered.
Multiple label elements can be given the same value for their for attribute; doing so causes the associated form control (the form control that for value references) to have multiple labels.
Note: A element can have both a for attribute and a contained control element, as long as the for attribute points to the contained control element.
Styling with CSS
There are no special styling considerations for elements — structurally they are simple inline elements, and so can be styled in much the same way as a or element. You can apply styling to them in any way you want, as long as you don’t cause the text to become difficult to read.

What kind of burger would you like to have?
I commented where the issue was.
I use VS Code for my IDE, and in VS code I have Prettier installed, I use this to format my code for HTML, CSS, and JS when I am done playing for the moment. It helps clean things up. If you have an error in your code for HTML, Prettier will not format the document, and it will give you a reference to where and why. When I closed the select tag, your input formatted properly on the page. It was simple with Prettier. Not saying use Prettier, but it is handy to have some type of formatter to help clean things up and to see easily overlooked issues like this one.

we’ve all been there, but your element is not closed, I think thats the issue you were having.
Solution – 3
your question has already been answered up there. You’re just missing a closing select tag.
but here I want to suggest some VSCODE extension to make your coding easier.
besides only using code formatter like prettier or beautify extension in VSCODE. you can also use
i hope these extension can help

Почему не работает label вне формы?
Всех приветствую, мне необходимо по работе разработать HTML страницу.
У меня 3 радиокнопки, если я нажимаю кнопку 1, то у меня внутри формы отображается, что был выбран вариант 1, тоже самое работает, если я выберу кнопку 2, но если я нажму на кнопку 3, то у меня информация не отобразиться, что я был выбран вариант 3, как сделать, чтобы отображалось, что я выбрал 3 вариант именно за пределами формы, а не в форме??
Простой 1 комментарий
Потому, что элеметны формы — это определенная группа, которая должна физически находится внутри тега form. Поставьте 3-тий label аналогично двум предыдущим, а для выноса отображения результат визуально сделайте следующее в css:
.label.l-3 display: inline-block;
position: absolute;
top: 75px;
right: 0px;
left: 0px:
>
Для точечного позиционирования подберите свои значения top, right или top, left конкретно в вашем случае. Таким образом вы извлечете этот элемент из нормального потока и расположите его где вашей душе вздумается!)
Всё работает
Единственная ошибка которая есть — в первой строчке не закрыт тег (но вряд ли в этом проблема)
Напишите конкретнее что именно не работает.
Других не слушайте, они несут глупости про спецификации. Спецификация (1, 2) не запрещает связывать с формой и при этом помещать label куда угодно на странице. Они даже соответствующий атрибут (form) у label убрали из спецификации за ненадобностью.
Labels are not themselves directly associated with forms. They are only indirectly associated with forms through the controls with which they’re associated.
The for attribute may be specified to indicate a form control with which the caption is to be associated. If the attribute is specified, the attribute’s value must be the ID of a labelable element in the same Document as the label element.
Тег label устанавливает связь с элементами формы, как он обратится к форме, если он не внутри неё? По спецификации этот тег работает только внутри формы.
