It's an incentive to get the software fixed. These examples are not for a new feature they are for a feature that has been around for a long time (10+ years): http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/interact/forms.html#h-17.9 In this example, we implicitly associate two labels with two text input controls: <FORM action="..." method="post"> <P> <LABEL> First Name <INPUT type="text" name="firstname"> </LABEL> <LABEL> <INPUT type="text" name="lastname"> Last Name </LABEL> </P> </FORM> Continuing to promote a method that does not work across browsers without at least providing a warning does a disservice to users and developers. Why promote coding practices that don't work cross browser? -- Configure bugmail: https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
