use <label> tag to improve the ZMI importExport page

[Bertrand Croq]

Here is a patch that improves the importExport page in the ZMI, using the "label" tag (and changing the pointer when the cursor is over a "label" HTML block).

I like the patch to the actual import/export form; I'm a little
more worried about the change to the "global" ZMI stylesheet.

Do you think there is any drawback to making all label elements
throughout the ZMI have a "pointer" icon?

[Bertrand Croq (bcroq)]

I think that making all label elements have a "pointer" cursor helps knowing that these are "clickable" elements... I don't understand why the default CSS (the one proposed at w3.org) doesn't do it!

Buttons, radio boxes, inputs, checkboxes, etc. are clickable too, should they also get a pointer cursor? I think it's not necessary.

[Bertrand Croq (bcroq)]

Buttons already get the pointer cursor, checkboxes and radio boxes should get this cursor (with my proposed dtml pages they do). Well, this is my point of view :)

I just checked in Mozilla, Opera, Konqueror and IE, none of this browsers shows a pointer cursor on buttons by default. I would just leave the defaults as users are used to it. Just my two cents :)

[Bertrand Croq (bcroq)]

Oups, you are right! Buttons don't get the pointer cursor... I only checked on the "search" button on zope.org, shame on me /o\

I personnaly don't think it is disturbing for the users (well, the admins, as we talk about the ZMI) to get a small hand indicating that they can click on "clickable" items...

Nevermind... I've proposed the patch, I wont cry if it's not committed ;)
