2,996 PointsWhy is 'Add Item' specified as a label?
A little off topic, this is about HTML rather than JavaScript. In this project there are three headings:
Add Item Todo Completed
Todo & Completed are both specified in the HTML as <h3> but 'Add Item' is a <label>. Why has the designer chosen to do this?

For Todo and Completed, they have potentially multiple inputs (the checkboxes), so each input needs its own label.
For Add Item, the text field is the only input, and it still should have a label, so I guess they chose to use the heading and style it the same.
