//==============================================================================
// this file uses the html label element to create one of those chill default 
// label things for form elements that flicks on and off when you focus and 
// blur the element.
//
// some cool features: 
//  - it uses event listening, so it doesn't interfere with anything else.
//  - it's easy to use: just drop this file in the head of your document.
//  - it degrades (users see traditional HTML labels)
//  - it cleans itself up before unload so that labels are never accidentally
//    submitted through forms.
//
// everything would be alot simpler if IE would just let you change the type
// of an input element (as mozilla does and the spec requires)
