I saw somewhere (but can't find it now) that Mozilla has a bug that when
using explicit labels in forms:
Text here


What I saw is that Mozilla improperly requires foo = bar or the label
doesn't assign properly.

Can anyone confirm or refute this?

Thanks
Joelle

Never came across this bug, I have to admit. It would be
quite "annoying", as this would make it impossible to have
mutually exclusive radio buttons with proper labels (same
name, different id).

I can explore this later tonight...just knock up a test
page and go through it with various Mozilla versions.

Using

Mozilla 1.8a6
Firefox 1.0
Netscape 7.0

Worked fine for me.

Thanks to both of you! I must have confused it with something else.
