I'm a huge fan of the greatly under-rated <label> element, but I've always worried about it's low discoverability. I'd never thought of using CSS to change the mouse pointer. I've added that to my stylesheet and I'll definitely be using it in the future.

Me neither! It's awesome - I added the line "label {cursor: pointer}" to my stylesheet and it works fine. Thanks Simon.

This also gives me an opportunity to link to ~~Simon's amazing bookmarks~~ Jesse's amazing bookmarks which Simon linked to that let you play with stylesheets "in real time" on your website. Really incredible.

In particular, check out the "test styles" and the "edit styles" bookmarklets. I was going to paste them in here but I can't get that to work right, so go to Simon's site

They're not mine; they were written by Jesse Ruderman. They're absolutely fantastic though - you really can redesign a whole site using them in a matter of minutes.

Yeah, I didn't mean to assign you the credit... just sloppy writing and laziness on my part. Thanks for pointing out my error.
