CGI checkbox labelling confuses javascript


I'm using a bit of javascript code to get the object type of cells in a table. However, because of the way CGI's checkbox function puts a <label>...</label> block around the checkbox. This confuses javascript which says that the type of object in that cell is unknown.

This seems to be a new feature in the checkbox function. I had this same code running under FC2 (sorry, I don't know what the perl version or version of CGI I had running), but it does this label block under 5.8.6/CGI 3.10

Is there any way to suppress this label block?

Thanks.
