Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 213519

(Core :: Layout: Form Controls, defect)

Description

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.5) Gecko/20031007

Clicking on the radio buttons under "3. Select the state:" does not change which
one is selected. However, the other set of radio buttons, under Step 1, work fine.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Click on the radio button labelled "NSW" on the test page.

Actual Results:  
The "ACT" radio button is still selected.

Expected Results:  
The "NSW" radio button should be selected, and the "ACT" one should be deselected.

Also happens in the Camino 2003101612 NB with its Aqua form controls. Using Mac
OS X 10.2.8. Setting Severity: Major, as I can't find any way to work around
this, which makes the test page unuseable.

<input TYPE="Radio" id="stateACT" NAME="State" VALUE="ACT" CHECKED /><span
class="text"><label for="stateACT">ACT</span>

The <label> tag is not closed, so it encompasses the other input tags.  When you
click them, this label 'sends the click' to the first input tag, the stateACT
tag that it is associated with.

You should definitely write the site and ask them to fix the code.  Whether what
the current behavior is what we want to happen is being debated in the bug I'm
dup-ing in this too.
