Hey Scott, I'm in agreement with you, the label feature is very handy. I use it most of the time on my forms.
But, I've seen instances when the user has certain toolbars or spyware that has stopped the browser from interpreting the label tag and other tags as well.

Correct use of <label> is the key. This is one of my pet peeves of websites, when programmers don't use this very helpful (standard HTML) tag. Disclaimer: My intranet-only laden comment is not directed at anyone in particular. But come on folks, you have to admit <label> is one hell of a useful feature, eh?
