Examples

When using a <label>, it’s important to ensure that the <label> is linked to a form element. You can do this by:

Adding a for attribute to the <label> that matches the id of an associated form element.
Wrapping the form element within the label. (You’ll have to add the tp-label class to an element within the <label> and not on the <label> itself.)

If done correctly, clicking on the label text should switch the browser’s focus to the form element.

Label with an input

Email address

<label class="tp-label" for="input-2781013281341440">Email address</label>
<input
    type="text"
    class="tp-text-input"
    id="input-2781013281341440"
    placeholder="example@example.com"
/>

Disabled label

Labels can appear visually disabled. It’s important to also disable the associated form element.

Email address

<label class="tp-label tp-label--disabled" for="input-22291815954776064">Email address</label>
<input
    type="text"
    class="tp-text-input"
    disabled
    id="input-22291815954776064"
    placeholder="example@example.com"
/>

Label with a validation error

You can change the label color to red when the associated form element has invalid data.

Validation errors must be also include text that explains the error. This helps guide the user and is crucial for users with visual impairments.

Email address

The email address you entered is incorrect.

<label class="tp-label tp-label--bad-news" for="input-1301239354621952">Email address</label>
<input
    type="text"
    class="tp-text-input tp-text-input--bad-news"
    id="input-1301239354621952"
    value="example@exampl"
/>
