Mental note - look at the User Agent Accessibility > Guideilnes to see if this is *required* or optional. UAAG are not my forte, but I think the closest it comes to this is Guideline 7. "Observe operating environment conventions" (though it only refers to the user agent interface, but I assume the rendered content of a web page is also covered by this?). Now, as I'm not a Mac person I don't know if OS X's system wide convention for checkboxes and such (in things like OS dialog boxes, for instance) is indeed that you can click the label to activate/focus. At least on Windows, that is the case. > Mental note 2 - > send something off to Dave Hyatt to find out if this can be/will be > fixed. +1 from me on that one. I'll email Dave later today (if people can confirm that it can be interpreted as a possible UAAG requirement, so it adds a bit more clout to the request).
