A few more things to consider: What if you click on the label, hit the spacebar, and the phone rings. When you come back, will you know what the field was for? Will you need to refresh and lose the other data you had already entered?
A person who is blind may tab through all of the fields to see if they%u2019re willing to fill out the form. For any fields where they start typing, when they go back through the form to fully fill it out, the labels will be gone. What if the person entered something unreadable, for example their fingers were shifted on their keyboard and they hadn%u2019t noticed? How will you know what the question was? What if you%u2019re on a touch device and you fat-finger the field before you read it? . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
