is wrapping input element by label tag valid?

Do we need to use always the for attribute to associate input element to a label or keeping input element inside the label also fine?

I want to know what is the best practice and whether it is valid to wrap like that.

It is valid to wrap input inside label, and by the specifications, it associates the label text with the control. However, browser support is better for the approach where the association is explicit with id and for attribute, so doing so is the best practice.

They work exactly the same. Also, the standard accepts both : http://www.w3schools.com/tags/tag_label.asp
