This is probably a stupid question but I was just wondering if it's possible add a class to a 'label' tag instead of having to wrap it in a 'span' tag to style it. I'm reading "CSS: The Missing Manual" and it's telling me that in order to style a bunch of label tags, I should wrap each one I wanted to style with a 'span' tag.

<label class="name">Name:</label>

Yes. The label tag supports all the global attributes specified in the HTML Attribute Reference.
