Hi,

A client of mine is asking that I make this form fully 508 compliant: hhs-back2business.com/registration.

The only compliance issue that I haven't been able to fix is "orphaned form label," defined by webaim.org as "A form label is present, but it is not associated with any form <input>, <select>, or <textarea>."

This error exist for all of my radio button fields. The offending code for these fields looks like this:
```
<label class='gfield_label'>Are you registered in the Central Contractor Registry (CCR)?<span class='gfield_required'>*</span></label>
```
Any advice is appreciated. Thanks.

We'll check it out and see about revising that for the next release. In the mean time, I'm not sure what I can offer. A jQuery fix would only be a front-end kind of thing and not a true markup change which is what you need.

Thanks Kevin. Is there any way to just remove the <label> tags from a form field without breaking the entire thing?

Update for anyone who comes upon this in the future:
I was able to work around this by just using drop-downs instead of radio buttons.

Also, anyone who is interested in ensuring 508 compliance for their website would do well to install the WAVE Toolbar for Firefox: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/wave-toolbar/

Extremely handy.
