The wonderful 'Label' tag (for creating clickable labels)

The HTML Label tag for creating clickable label:
There's actually a tag in HTML 4 which allows a label to be associated with a radio or a checkbox and makes the label clickable i.e. you can check the radio or the check box by clicking on the associated label.

An example:

<form name="input" action="">
    <input type="checkbox" name="sex" id="male" />
    <label for="male">Male</label>
    <input type="checkbox" name="sex" id="female" />
    <label for="female">Female</label>
</form>

Demo:

Male
Female

So now if you click on the label "Male" it will check the check box with the id="male". Similarly if you click on the label "Female", it will check the check box with the id="female".

Limitation:
However the tag is not supported in Netscape 4. The following links are pages that I have come across that shows an alternative of how labels can still be made clickable by performing some magic with Javascript:
