43771 - Line breaks after LABEL tag?

Status: VERIFIED WORKSFORME

(Core :: Layout: Form Controls, defect, P1)

Description

[pete]

The <label ...>Search: </label> renders with a line break after it when it's 
not supposed to (at least I and Internet Explorer think so).

I couldn't get this to happen with a SPAN instead of a LABEL -- so I suspect 
that this may have something to do with LABEL's special behavior.  However, it 
could still be a more general table problem.  Assigning to HTML Form Controls, 
but cc:ing karnaze.

I will need buster's help with this one, sounds like a floater issue to me.


This bug has been marked "future" because the original netscape engineer working 
on this is over-burdened. If you feel this is an error, that you or another 
known resource will be working on this bug,or if it blocks your work in some way 
-- please attach your concern to the bug for reconsideration.

I'll take another look but my guess is that this is a floater problem for buster

Reassigning to copre layout for a look

Rod, what did you learn when you looked at this? Why do you suspect it is a 
floater problem? Does align=right on a TD cause a floater?

Comment 11

[Marc Attinasi]

If a DIV with align=right has a LABEL in it, the label seems to act like a
block. I don't know what is up with the LABEL, but like David mentioned, this
does not happen with a simple SPAN. I could see no evidence of any floaters but
clearly we are getting two lines. Rod, if you have any knowledge of the LABEL
and how it behaves it would be appreciated. This may be a block-issue, but it
seems unlikely since the simple SPAN case is no problem.

[Marc Attinasi]

Rod, this has lots in common with bug 47149 (futured) - Also note the block in 
forms.css that reads:

label {
  /* our <label> support is badly broken. (b=47149) */
  vertical-align: bottom;
  padding-left: 3px;
  padding-right: 3px;
}

sending back to you. My guess is that we will have to work together on this when 
it rises to the top of the priority stack.

Occurs on Linux too, OS/All. It works fine in quirks mode though (i.e. no line
break is appended to the </label>. HTML4 keyword since I cannot find <label> in
the 3.2 spec.

All the testcases workforme on Linux 2001-11-01-21.  Is this an issue still on
other OS's?
