Check Boxes and Radio Buttons Conquered by DHTML

Philip Howard writes "Pretty much every form element has been conquered by CSS so far, letting us create stylish, integrated forms to tie in closely with our site designs for that UI polish graphics artists love to have. Radio Buttons and Check Boxes, however, have resisted most attempts to style them consistently, accessibly and elegantly- perhaps because nobody cares enough to come up with the solution. However, these elusive form elements have finally been conquered with a simple combination of CSS and Javascript and a little HTML wrapper. The solution is easy and quick to implement, is accessible (working with tab and space) and elegantly degrades where CSS and/or XHTML is not available."

Will Lynx render them correctly with ascii-art?

This occupation won't stand! You may think you can apply your western styles upon us by force, but history will prove you wrong.

Damn you, Slashdot.

I just hope the marketing people that work in my company aren't reading Slashdot today.

Otherwise, I'll be making fancy checkboxes for the next 2 months.

Damn you, Slashdot.
