Description

Currently, checkboxes on the BE are just a checkbox and some text next to it. If the text next to it would be enclosed in a LABEL element pointing to the checkbox, this would have two neat benefits:

1. Improve accesibility a bit (still a long way to go, I know) as this allows screenreaders to read the label when the checkbox is reached.

2. When the label is clicked, the checkbox is flipped. This makes it easier for me to hit the checkbox with my mouse (I have a 100 dpi display where Typo3 has a tiny font size).

As Mantis doesn't escape HTML properly, I cannot give an example here in the bug report.

This is the spec for labels: http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40/interact/forms.html#h-17.9
