Hi fellow UI developers,
Can someone explain why we are using "input type=text" fields to render labels?
(see screenshot[1]) This seems like bad practice for a few reasons:
* it's not semantic HTML
* inputs do not have variable sizing like text. They cannot shrink down to the size of
the text, which makes positioning difficult.
* common browser extensions such as LastPass can be confused (see screenshot[1] --
lastpass sees these labels for the text fields they are, and attempts to help the user
fill them in -- that's what those gray asterisks are. Very confusing.)
I'd like to pursue correcting this, if possible.
Thanks,
Greg
