Nice, and the working example at the end is great for us who skim and hack

Hmm that wasn't too hard :-)
Here is the code addition to alter the label text:
function oninputfocus(e) {
/* Cookie-cutter code to find the source of the event */
[...cut...]
/* End cookie-cutter code */
var id = source.id;
var label = getLabelForId(id);
label.style.fontWeight='bold';

source.style.border='2px Solid #711F5E';
source.style.margin='0';
}
function oninputblur(e) {
/* Cookie-cutter code to find the source of the event */
[...cut...]
/* End cookie-cutter code */
var id = source.id;
var label = getLabelForId(id);
label.style.fontWeight='normal';

source.style.border='1px Solid #711F5E';
source.style.margin='1px 0';
}

Hope it's usefull! It was for me :-)
