I dont know.. but

...Well you gotta start breaking it down right?

So.. do you have any code?

I guess we need a label.

<label id='clickMe' onClick='callFunction();'>

<function clickMe() {
// code goes here
}

Does that get you started?

Very simply:

<html>
<head>
<script language = 'javascript'>

function changeLabelText(controlID)
{
var thisLabel = document.getElementById(controlID);
thisLabel.innerHTML = "Some Other Text";

}

</script>
</head>
<body>
<form>
<label for="radio1" id="radioLabel"
onclick="changeLabelText(this.id)">Some Text</label>
<input id="radio1" type="radio" />
</form>
</body>
</html>

What is the rational of passing - this.id - and then using the ID
string passed with the - document.getElementById - method to look up a
reference to the LABEL element? Given that IDs must be unique within a
document and the - id - property of an element reflects its ID
attribute the element returned from document.getElemetnById must be the
same element as the - this - in - this.id -, so you may as well just
pass - this - and have the element reference in the function directly.

<input id="radio1" type="radio" />

And why the pseudo XHTML mark-up in a document that could only be HTML?
