If I have the following:
<label for="deletetxt">Delete This Text</label>
What is the 'for' attribute here? Is that the id?
Assuming that I cannot set a class for the label element to style the label element, how do i set css for this element?

An id on a <label> tag assigns an identifier to the label. The identifier must be unique across the page.
The value of the id attribute must be unique within the HTML document. The id attribute is used to point to a specific style declaration in a style sheet. It is also used by JavaScript to access and manipulate the element with the specific id. The syntax for id is: write a hash character (#), followed by an id name.
To associate the <label> with an <input> element, you need to give the <input> an id attribute. The <label> then needs a for attribute whose value is the same as the input's id .
Definition and Usage The id attribute specifies a unique id for an HTML element (the value must be unique within the HTML document). The id attribute is most used to point to a style in a style sheet, and by JavaScript (via the HTML DOM) to manipulate the element with the specific id.
The for attribute contains the ID of the element that the label is for. I always thought this would be quite intuitive...
<label for="SomeTextField" id="SomeLabel">Some text field</label>
<input type="text" id="SomeTextField">
You style a label like any other element:
label {
font-weight: bold;
color: red;
}
I always thought this would be quite intuitive, as well. So - what are you really trying to do, the questions you ask are a sign that you have a different problem, actually.
