Table settings can specify a selectUsing table for certain fields, which should cause the labels for those fields to have links to the specified table. The point of this is to allow the user to see some of the possible values for the specified field (e.g., to see a list of academic terms when filling in the term field). These links are being created (the labels are underlined, and Firefox, for example, shows the link in the status area), but clicking on these links does not work, at least in Firefox on MacOS X (have not yet analyzed whether this problem extends to other browsers). Control-clicking on these links does, however, lead to a menu of options that includes opening the link in a new tab or new window, and choosing these menu options does work. (Is <a href="..."><label ...>...</label></a> not working? Would<label ...><a href="...">...</a></label> work?)
Better than just fixing these links, though, would be to create something like an alert box or drop-down menu, allowing the user to choose a value that gets plugged into the relevant field.
