Issue List: Issue: Better Association Between Quiz Radio Buttons and Check Boxes and Questions

Quiz controls and text for the question should be within adjacent table cells or the same table cell. Form LABEL tags should make the association between the question and the form control used for the answer. It is okay to use tables for alignment of controls and questions, but developers need to be aware that anyone tabbing through a form in a table or using a screen reader to access form elements in a table will access the form elements sequentially, according to the read order of the table. Thus if a row separates a question and a form control for the answer, it is highly likely the user will incorrectly associate the question with the proper form element for the answer. It is best, then, to make question and answer adjacent horizontally within a row or confine question and answer to a single table cell.
