Every interactive control in your application needs to have an accessible "name", more often referred to as a "label". In today's episode I'll show you how elements actually get their accessible names, and some techniques you can use to provide proper labeling. After you're done watching, be sure to skim through your current site or app to make sure all of your controls have labels!
