quick one, if user clicks text of radio button it selects the button

[unwashed potato!]

sure this must be an easy one but can't find an solution. im embarrassed to admit i don't know it which is why i tried google but even that isn't providing an answer.

just want it so that when the user clicks the text with a radio button it selects the radio button. would have thought thats what label does but unless i did it wrong i can't get it to.

why bother? when people see a radio box, they instinctively go for the radio button itself - not click on the text?

but it can be done easily enough. give the checkbox an id. wrap the text in a span and set the onclick property of the span to....

document.getElementById('blah').checked = true;

didn't realise thats the way to do it, thought it was some html that associated the text with the button.

i for one never ever click the radio button, always the text as its a much larger area to click compared to the teeny weeny radio button.

Yup

ahhhh i was right, thought thats what labels did so rechecked code and turned out the reasno it wasn't working is a missed a blooming = in id="something"

thanks guys
