My Opinion of Associating labels with your HTML form controls:

It's utterly ridiculous that "professional" sites stick a radio control on a page without associating an HTML label element with it. Users shouldn't need to click directly on the control, but the more logical descriptive text. This would significantly reduce the amount of confusion on the user's part since poor-layout makes it unclear what label goes with what radio button.

The easiest way of doing this is: <label><input type="radio" name="my_radio" value="Easy" />Easy</label>

Not very hard, now, is it.
