[Brandon Kelly]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.8.1.4) Gecko/20070515 Firefox/2.0.0.4
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.8.1.4) Gecko/20070515 Firefox/2.0.0.4

If a hidden input element and a textfield are placed within <label> and </label>, as soon as the user clicks on the textfield to type in it, it looses focus (probably to the hidden element).

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to provided URL
2. click on the Reciptant's Name textbox
3. type
Actual Results:  
text does not appear in textfield (if you go fast enough you might get 1 letter in)

Expected Results:  
text appears in textfield as usual

This only happens on click. Tabbing to the textfield works as expected.

I was able to repro this on Firefox 3 Alpha 5 as well.

Hidden, unhidden, it's all the same - we treat a label that ignores where the spec says "Each label element is associated with exactly one form control" as being associated with the first form control no matter what.
