Labels are used to make forms more accessible. You could change the labels to spans, and change the CSS to reflect that. If you're just trying to change the color of the link on hover, you could do that with the link alone, as seen in this fiddle. All I did was remove the label, and adjust the css to use a, and a:hover
a {
border:0px solid #FF7E7E;
padding:20px;
margin:0px 0px 0px;
display:block;
}
a:hover {
background:#33B3CE;
cursor:pointer;
}
