Label vs span: HTML

Question

I am a bit confused in what to use for rendering data. My scenario is that I have to render count and I am not sure about using span or label.

<span id="spnCount"></span> 

or

<label id="lblCount"></label> 

Answer 1

A label is used when you have a form or input elements - the label is associated with an input element. Span is a general container for any inline content. I think you want a span in this case

Answer 2

Span

The <span> tag is used to group inline-elements in a document.

The <span> tag provides no visual change by itself.

The <span> tag provides a way to add a hook to a part of a text or a part of a document.

Label

The <label> tag defines a label for an element.

The <label> element does not render as anything special for the user. However, it provides a usability improvement for mouse users, because if the user clicks on the text within the <label> element, it toggles the control.

The for attribute of the <label> tag should be equal to the id attribute of the related element to bind them together.
