HTML4 (and thus mozilla) support the concept of a "label" for checkboxes and form fields. basically if you say <input type=radio id=foo><label for=foo>Click Me!</label> then clicking the text in "Click Me!" will check/uncheck the box, like a native widget. I'm working on patches for this right now.
For this to have any chance of getting approved, it had better not mess up non-mozilla browsers. *ahem*
not to worry, IE supports <label>s and other browsers (i.e. Navigator) ignore <label>s and just show the text inside of them.
There are already patches over at bug #14887.
