It does work with tabbing/arrows/keyboard only in FF, but the focus unless you continue to hold the mouse as you draw down the drop down does leave to the formfield, which goes against what user expect of a select box, though it does actually work in FF 1.0
Though it does associate the label with the form field it doesn't associate the select box with the form field or the label. It looks like the point here is not accessibility, but moving the cursor to the field. I would rather see 2 labels, one associated with each form element and use javascript for the cursor and have accessibility and the feature you're looking for. just 2 cents from someone who looked at this before and ended up using javascript for those who support it in order to keep the accessibility. Of course, I may have completly misunderstood what you are shooting for.....
