It was an intranet app for consultants to record their billable hours. It did browser sniffing to determine whether IE was available to allow a COM-based date control to be used in place of a plain text input control. I didn't write it. The form did not use the label element. In the IE case the COM object looked so much like a date input widget that the author didn't even label it with plain old text.
