Luke @lukewarlow.dev · 06/08/2026I somehow only just realised that if you hover a label it matches `:hover` on the associated form control... Is this common knowledge? I feel like it's probably one of those things that I actually already did know and have just forgotten. 6141
khanglol @khanglol.bsky.social · 06/08/2026Wait, this is so interesting thanks to <button> being a form control. Some behavior only possible with :has(:has()) may be possible using this... wow! <object> & <fieldset> don't seem to work with this even though it is a "labelable" form control according to MDN 231
khanglol @khanglol.bsky.social · 06/08/2026Huh, never realized that since I tend to nest controls inside their <label>. Very, very interesting. I wonder how you can abuse this since <button> is a form control😮 030

Luke @lukewarlow.dev · 06/08/2026Interestingly it doesn't forward mouse events like mouseover (other than click "obviously"). But it does apply `:active` and `:hover` (interestingly it doesn't do this for :focus) 030
