113035 - display property not applied to label elements

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 107763

(Core :: CSS Parsing and Computation, defect)

Description

[aaron boodman]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.0)
BuildID:    2001112009

Mozilla doesn't seem to apply any setting of display to label elements. In the 
example, I've demonstrated display:block; and display:none;. 

It doesn't seem to matter whether the style is declared in a linked stylesheet, 
inline, or embedded, or even attached through DOM.

note that other rules for css are applied as usual. this problem only seems to 
apply to display, although I have not tested every single css property.

labeled as minor because display:none can be worked around with 
position:absolute; visibility:hidden; and display:block can be worked around by 
wrapping the label in some block-level container.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. goto url.
2. note that both labels are displayed inline.
3. stare in horror.

Actual Results:  um. both labels displayed inline.

Expected Results:  not displayed the first label at all, displayed the second 
label as block-level.

<label style="display:none;">yo</label>

<label> is pretty broken, but I had no idea it was this horked.  cc'ing rods.

This is basically done on purpose... see forms.css

I thought this was happening due to the frame construction code even before the
change in the bug that bug was duped to.
