confusing grey-out of form labels

Description

It is very confusing at first that labels and entry fields in the batch update form are greyed out until the corresponding check box has been checked.

Perhaps make the label apply to the check box so that clicking it will check the box and enable the other controls? That way, also, the label won't be greyed out which dissuades users from touching it.

I am also having this issue in 0.11. Also, even after checking the box, I can not edit the field(s).

Hopefully this will get fixed,as it's a very useful plug-in, well will be if fixed.

To those commenting that the fields stay disabled, even after checking the adjacent check box:

This was happening for me because jquery.js was not being loaded. Apparently Trac still functions without it, more or less. You'll see a 404 response for each js/jquery.js request in your web server logs (if applicable) and if your browser logs errors, It'll show up there too (i.e. Firefox's Tools > Error Console)

I'm using a Debian unstable packaged version of Trac (0.11-3), where the jquery file is removed and replaced with a package dependency for "libjs-jquery". I didn't look into why jquery.js isn't loaded, but instead just symlinked jquery.js to my Trac site-packages directory:

ln -s /usr/share/javascript/jquery/jquery.js /usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/trac/htdocs/js/

Which ain't the right way to fix it ...but does fix the problem for me. YMMV.
