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."

Nothing new

What he's doing is certainly useful, but not new. I could just as easily say that WebDDM is a solution to the age-old problem of styling menus... but people have been doing that for years. (Not that WebDDM isn't great :p)
