I have created many forms that had label tags and haven't had any problems when
tested in NS 4.08 on Windows 98 and 2000.

Sadly, even valid code can cause problems in NS 4.08. For example, it may crash
if you use span tags inside of a paragraph tag. (This is a good way to add in CSS
classes.) It's valid code, but crashes this version of Netscape .
Is the page available online? We might be able to help more if we can take a
look at the source code.
