### Why is this important?
Applications generally place the labels for radio button and check box elements after the element itself. Users expect this convention to be followed consistently. When labels are placed before a radio button or checkbox element, users can become disoriented.
<!-- This is where the code snippet is injected -->
<div id="locSnippet"></div>
### What to do
* Place the text of the label immediately after the checkbox or radio button element.
For example:
```
<input id="chk1" name="chkgroup" type="checkbox"><label for="chk1">Option 1</label>
<label><input name="chkgroup" type="checkbox">Option 1</label>
```
</script></mark-down>
