To better match the Windows XP platform behavior, hovering over a label tag should cause the related form input element to highlight, just as if you moused over the form element itself. This is the behavior of checkboxes and radio buttons in native dialogs. IE6 shows the hover effect for the HTML form element when you hover over the text label. To Reproduce: Go to an HTML form that uses label tags to associate text with a control. Mouse over a control that shows a hover effect, such as a checkbox or radio button. (Note that the hover effect occurs when over the actual element.) Mouse over the label for the control. Actual: The cursor turns to an arrow to show the text is clickable, but the hover effect doesn't occur. Expected: The cursor should turn into an arrow and the associated form widget should show its hover effect. This change would make HTML forms behave more like the native platform. Interestingly, the preferences dialog in Phoenix behaves as expected when you hover over text labels. Observed in Phoenix nightly 2002-09-26-18-trunk.
Isn't this related to (or a dupe) bug 12518? Although I guess this bug is specific to Windows XP using the native platform theme, and emulating the theme's behaviour with form labels, whereas 12518 seems to be any windows version, so perhaps this should block that? The test case attached in bug 12518 comment 1 (attachment 1392 [details]) seems like a good example of this bug's behaviour.

Good idea, but won't be easy to do right.

I may as well say what I was thinking ... the correct way to do this, it seems to me, is to make :hover occur on the corresponding control when it is turned on on the label.

Also, could this bug ALSO be a duplicate, of bug 12518? Whether it is or not, you should take a look at the test HTML document in this bug: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/attachment.cgi?id=145551 Note also, like I mentioned in my (duplicate) bug above, when a radio button / check box or its label is clicked on or gets the focus, you get an ugly dotted border around it (Windows XP). Now the dotted border is to indicate focus, I know. But if there is a label, it should go around that instead.
