The attached WebCT calendar form includes a label for each form element.  
Clicking the labels for the <select> drop-downs doesn't do anything.  It should 
focus the drop-down and probably also drop down the menu.

I think this is a dup or I know there is a bug about this same thing for a 
different control

This is similar to bug 28657 "Clicking on <LABEL> doesn't put focus in INPUT
field" which is assigned to saari. rods probably these should be resolved
together. Setting blocker to bug 7954.

This seems to work OK in mozilla 1.1 beta. Assignee would you mind marking as FIXED?
In both test cases, the focus is transferred from the label to its corresponding
select. So that part WFM. But the activation of the drop-down list does not
happen, the list of options does not drop down, pop up. I believe this should be
the expected behavior of select in case they get the focus from its
corresponding label.
Just my 2 cents.

Mozilla 1.2alpha build 2002091004
When I tab into the <select>, it doesn't automatically drop down... I fail to
see how focusing it via a label is any different. imo what we are doing right
now is correct.
Ok then, I agree that the list does not need to drop-down if the focus is
transfered to the select. So, I assume this bugfile can be resolved as FIXED.
FIXED would mean we know what fixed it.
