Links containing a Label tag are not clickable on IE

Question

I\'ve come across an unusual situation with general IE compatibility.

The following link is unclickable in IE, but fine on everything else (I\'ve tried IE8 onwards):

Answer 1

Labels are for form elements. In this context, they are being used incorrectly. Anyone using a screen reader will be confused by the markup, since upon "seeing" a label they are expecting a corresponding form element. A span element would be better suited, and would work across all browsers with minimal changes, since you're simply changing <label> for <span>.

Answer 2

Doesn't using a label inside an a tag invalidate the html as a label is interactive content? You'd be better served using a span for this.
