I'm having a little trouble with the 508 Accessibility Compliance, relating
labels and with DropDowns, from an XHTML source.
1) When I assign the AssociatedControlID for a label, the width for the
label gets ignored.
2) When I assign the AssociatedControlID for a label to a DropDown, and a
user clicks on that label the focus is assigned to the dropdown, the dropdown
loses the selected value and does not send a SelectedIndexChanged back to the
server. This is causing me trouble since I need to make certain fields
available or restricted based on the dropdown and user selected values can be
lost.
Has anyone else run in to this, and does anyone know a work around?
The ASPX source example...
