IE8 manual triggering of events on change

[kosiaciok@…]

Trying to activate a checkbox by another element causes inverted behavior in IE8 if I want to do some actions inside onchange method.

i.e. trigger checkbox by clicking on a link and changing link color depending on :checked attribute of the checkbox.

Event order isn't exactly the same in oldIE and there isn't a lot we can do about it. If you change that to valid semantic markup and use a label, it works fine in addition to improving accessibility and using less code.
