Can I use label element with select?

Question

Can I use label element with select?

Most of the places I see label example with input elements only.

What does standard say about label association?

Is it a valid HTML markup?

<label for="id_select"> Options </label>
<select id="id_select" autofocus="true">
  <option value="1"> Option1 </option>
  <option value="2"> Option2 </option>
</select>

Heritable

Answer 1

Yes, it's valid and works fine.

This attribute explicitly associates the label being defined with another control.
