16745 - OPTION labels are bring displayed as well as element content

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 4050

(Core :: Layout: Form Controls, defect, P3)

Description

[James Bromberger]

In a list of options within a SELECT, the label element of the option should be
used over the content of the element, not as well as the content of the
element. I was using 19991017 nightly build on i686 GNU/Debian Linux (potato,
2.2.12).

Ref: http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40/interact/forms.html#h-17.6

This attribute allows authors to specify a shorter label for an option than the
content of the OPTION element. When specified, user agents should use the value
of this attribute rather than the content of the OPTION element as the option
label.

Notes for [e-mail]:

With Mozilla build 1999-10-17-08-M11 on WinNT at least,
the page at the above URL shows a from control only until the LINKed
stylesheet is loaded and processed. After that, all that shows is the sidebar
and footer of your page. This makes reproduction of your bug impossible.

Suggest you create a simplified testcase by removing all content
extraneous from testing LABELs in a SELECT context from the page
at the URL (or at another URL, or create an Attachment).
