I am designing a Web form and I can't get radio buttons to work properly in
Firefox. Please see the URL provided as example. When I click on whatever
button, only the first one ('sì') gets checked; 'no' can't be checked. The form
works correctly in IE.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Load the Web page http://www.amtrad.it/Italiano/prova/prova.htm
2. Click on 'no' either on the first on on the second line.


Actual Results:  
'sì' gets checked.

Expected Results:  
Show 'no' as checked.

Well, no, the form doesn't work in IE, it just doesn't work differently. <label>
associates the label text with one form input, so that the label passes focus on
to the input. Click the label text for an <input type="text"> and you're ready
to start typing, click the label for a radio button and you've clicked the radio
button. If you mistakenly include more than one form control in a <label>, our
bug is to treat even clicks on another control as going to the first, IE's is to
not treat any label clicks as going to any control.
