[Javascript] accessing a <label>

[Troy III Ajnej]

Yeah, sibling throuh whitespace and newline characters is a major 
W3C flaw, those guys are a bunch of idiots. None of them browsers
out there will interpret empty characters or more than a single white-
space even if inside the defined html tag, than why on earth, or why 
would he for any reason wanna count newlines on his source code?
 
What possible reason would they have to mess with DOM like that?
A simple bunch of idiots,...
Thank you.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~                                        Troy III                            progressive art enterprise~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
