Preserved Topic: check checkboxes by clicking on text beside it (Page 1 of 1)

i want it so that the checkboxes get checked not onl by clicking on the checkbox itself but also by clicking the text beside it.

<input type="checkbox" name="name" value="value" id="checkbox_id" /><label for="checkbox_id">Check This!</label>

thanx a lot mr.max
it works
and without javascript too!

Heh.

We've forgotten how to use HTML correctly so badly that we strive to create effects with complicated scripts that it already has built in.

lol That is super cool. Never would have thunk.

I'm a big fan of such things as LABEL (as well as ACCESSKEY, TABINDEX and FIELDSET and LEGEND) you'll see such elements in the GN redesign - for more info see stuff like:

They have important implications for accessibility:
