106344 - Clicking a <label> doesn't give focus to <input type="checkbox"> if the label is wrapped

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Core :: Layout: Form Controls, defect, P2)

Description

[Jonas Jørgensen]

Clicking a LABEL only gives focus to the corresponding INPUT if you click the
first line of the label. If the label is wrapped and you click the second line,
nothing happens.

Comment 2

[basic]

this is probably caused by the changes made in the fix for bug 47149
maybe layout rather than form?

Comment 3

[rods (gone)]

it's a dup

Comment 4

[Jesse Ruderman]

Are you sure this is a dup of the bug about <label>s for <select> elements not 
working at all?

Comment 5

[basic]

This doesn't look like a dup to me. That is about doing something when a <label>
clicked is associated with a <select> but this is about <label> not triggering
when it is wrapped.

Attachment: testcase (with hover)

with this testcase this almost look like bug 98783 except for the fact that bug
98783 is fixed and this is not.

Reopen if you disagree with this duplication.

That bug is about <label> not working for <input type="text"> at all. This bug
is about it not working for <input type="checkbox"> if the <label> text is wrapped.

Confirmed on Linux with the following build:

Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.0rc2) Gecko/20020513

Note that this issue may also be forced using <BR> tags (which
validates as HTML 4.01 Transitional).  Will post another testcase.

I've also observed that MS Internet Explorer 5.5 (IIRC) behaves
correctly and makes wrapped labels clickable when using <BR> tags
to force the wrapping.

Attachment: testcase (with br tags)

A test case using <BR> tags to force the line wrapping issue.
Behaves the same as all of the previous testcases.

All the testcases WFM on Linux build 2002071914.

If you mousedown on, say, line 2, then drag the mouse to highlight a few words
and then mouseup somewhere in line 4, then test case in attachment 85323 [details] will
not work.

If you mousedown on, say, line 2, then drag the mouse to highlight a few
characters on the same line and then mouseup in line 2, then test case in
attachment 85323 [details] works.

All other testcases WFM on Windows XP Pro build 2002072918 .

Comment 13

[Gérard Talbot]

My previous comment is not really useful in this bug. Dragging/highlighting text
in a label has nothing really to do with a simple click in a label element.

I'm uploading 2 additional testcases regarding this bug; they are the same as
attachment 71089 [details] and attachment 85323 [details]. The difference is located only in the
respective format (implicit versus explicit) of the label element.

So, all testcases WFM on Windows XP Pro with build 2002080218. I think this bug
should be resolved just like bug 28657 was resolved a few days ago.

Explicit refers to this kind of format:
<label for="idRef">text of label</label><input type="checkbox" id="idRef">

Implicit refers to this kind of format:
<label>text of label<input type="checkbox" id="idRef"></label>

Comment 17

[Gérard Talbot]

I wish the following keywords be added to this bug:  access , nsbranch+ and sec508

Comment 18

[Gérard Talbot]

So far, 3 different people (the last 3 who made comments) using 3 distinct os
have been saying that the test cases WFM.

Can we resolve this bug as WFM ?

Comment 19

[Jonas Jørgensen]

WFM.
