In answer to your second question, I think the Moodle_15 directory is a red herring, try changing the "Show files using tag:" dropdown at the bottom of the page to see files in that directory that are tagged for different releases.

I'm kind of out of touch with beginner web surfers, but do most people still only use one web page at a time? I've generally got about 20 on the go, several for utility tasks like looking up a word's spelling with Google, or a concept on Wikipedia, so to me the thought of one window doing two separate tasks is almost sacrilegious. On the other hand, I've seen people wide eyed with astonishment when I right click with a mouse, and I generally avoid using pop-up windows whenever possible as I'm told they can confuse people, so maybe the general Moodle user isn't ready for more than one window at a time.

If the audience was sophisticated enough, I'd definitely go with multiple windows as the best solution.

Is anyone interested in a Moodle Themes scrapbook idea? To give an example of what I mean, I just looked at the new version of Eduforge that Martin Langhoff posted a link too.

As well as being a cool resource generally, I also really liked the neat visual design used for the sideblocks on the right hand side of the front page. And after a click around I think I've figured out how it was done, and it's clever enough that I'd like to explain and demonstrate how the same technique could be applied to Moodle.

It would be neat if other people could contribute nice features of their own themes to give people starting out some concrete examples to learn from.

The question is, what's the best format for this? A forum, wiki or what? You'd want it to be easily browsable, and each item to be a readable standalone article, but also interlinking common concepts so as not to be repetitive and also allow for discussion and updates.

Any thoughts?

I'd not heard of that problem. Though I'll note you can add the for="id" to the label even if you do it the neater way. Does that still cause IE problems?

You only need to use the rather odd for="id" syntax when the the two items are seperated (e.g. in different table cells).

It's usually much easier (to code and read) if you just surround the entire input with label tags like this rendering the id unnecessary:

<label><input type="radio" name="sample">One</label>

edit: looking at the weblib code, this label could just replace the span for a slight increase in clarity, and decrease in page size.

Also, on a similar topic, does checked on its own validate? I thought you needed checked="checked", at least that's what I've being doing for ages, I can't quite remember why.
