Error message
Warning: React does not recognize the `htmlFor` prop on a DOM element.
What broke
In React, the `htmlFor` prop is used for labeling form elements, but it should only be applied to the `<label>` element. Using it on other DOM elements will trigger a warning.
Why it broke
This broke because React expects certain props to be used with specific elements. The `htmlFor` prop is meant to associate a label with a form control, and using it on a non-label element violates this expectation.
How to fix
To fix this warning, ensure that the `htmlFor` prop is only used on `<label>` elements. If you need to associate a label with an input, wrap the input in a label or use the `id` attribute on the input and `htmlFor` on the label correctly.

Prevention tip
If you need to associate a label with an input, wrap the input in a label or use the `id` attribute on the input and `htmlFor` on the label correctly.
