[WSG] label:hover - more harm than good?!

[tee]

I use "label:hover" for a site, it's working fine when there is one  
input field or radio button. But it's creating a confusion for client  
on checkboxes and select option as clicking on the label text trigger  
no focus /selection on checkbox or option.



One oversight I did that added extra confusion was to make the  
label:hover and a:hover the same color, so this is remediable, but  
different hover color for label still couldn't solve the above problem.


So I am wondering if label:hover adds no benefit to a site.

Re: [WSG] Clearing a row with floated list

[James Ducker]

I fixed it in IE7, though that caused the problem that was occuring in IE7
to occur in Firefox. If you don't mind a conditional, problem solved!
