    <p>I am working with legacy code and I've stumbled across this piece of art:</p> <pre><code>//IE Hacks if (navigator.appName == 'Microsoft Internet Explorer') { $("label").live('click', function() { $('#'+$(this).attr('for')).click().click().click(); }); } // End IE Hacks </code></pre> <p>I was told this was written, because labels were not always working in IE and this trick fixed it. Also it didn't work with two <code>.click()</code> calls, but the all three were needed.</p> <p>The jQuery version used is <code>1.4.2</code>.</p> <p>I want to refactor this to use feature detection and a more elegant solution.</p> <p>I looked on Google for label problems in IE and stumbled only on problems with hidden inputs.</p> <p>Does anyone know what could be the problem which this code solves?</p> <p>Is there a more elegant solution?</p> <p><strong>UPDATE</strong>:</p> <p>Do you think there is not a problem which this code could have possibly solved and I should just remove it?</p> <p><strong>UPDATE 2</strong>:</p> <p>I have found a problem with labels on the site. Here is a piece of HTML:</p> <pre><code>&lt;div class="remember-me"&gt; &lt;input type="hidden" name="remember" value="0"&gt; &lt;input type="checkbox" id="remember" name="remember" value="1" class="checkbox-input" rel="remember"&gt; &lt;label class="label-remember" for="remember"&gt;Keep me logged in&lt;/label&gt; &lt;/div&gt; </code></pre> <p>This HTML code is inserted into the page with Ajax so it might be related to the problem described from kevmc.</p> <p>In Internet Explorer 7 clicking the label does not check the checkbox. Instead it focuses the label (with a thin dotted border).</p>

    1. COYou’re asking for an alternative solution to a problem when you don’t even know whether it really exists …?

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
