simulateLabelClick() #

Simulate the behavior of clicking on a label (a HTML <label> element) bound to this input. HTML only allows <label> to act on specific "labelable" elements; complex widgets might need to override this method to provide intuitive, accessible behavior.

This method is called by OO.ui.LabelWidget and OO.ui.FieldLayout. It should not be called directly.
