I am receiving the following failed message on accessibility check for the jump
menu:

[508 (N)] [WCAG 12.4 (2)] Form control without explicit label is found
Description. Form control should have non-empty explicit label, or at least
non-empty title. Explicit label is a label tied with input by 'for'/'id'
attributes.

Can someone please tell me where and how I should place the label in my code
to fix this issue. I have already tried a number of different places but still
not passing the accessibility check.

Thanks
Sharlene

But of course there should be some label text as well - empty labels are
useless. And for old IE browsers it's required to explicitly associate
the label with the form control using a 'for' attribute.

Thanks guys,
I've tried your suggestions but I think I must still be placing the code in
the wrong place. I've attached the code that Dreamweaver creates... and since
I don't have much experience can you please tell exactly where I should put the
label tags and the for attribute
