Re: Answers to some CSS questions

Hello,

Using CSS:

<input type="checkbox" style="border: 1px #000000 solid;">

Works in Netscape 6.  Not in IE, Netscape 4 or Opera.

If you're SO desperate to change the appearence of your checkboxes or radio
buttons, I would suggest constructing a JavaScript checkbox using some
clever swap images, and onClick event handlers.  You should be able to use a
hidden field in your form, and then change the value using JavaScript when
the box is clicked.

Hope this helps,

Tim

Thanks for the contribution.

What I'm actually trying to achieve is to control the appearance of CHECKBOX
and RADIO button form elements.

In particular, I want to replace the default CHECKBOX with a single pixel
wide, unshaded solid line.

I can use BORDER and SCROLLBAR attributes to control TEXT and TEXTAREA
elements but, frustratingly, these don't work with CHECKBOXES or RADIO
buttons.

Please let me know if you know how to do this, or have any suggestions.

TIA
