pretty radio buttons and check boxes
As I’m planning to re-launch dustinfluke.com later this summer with something that actually resembles a web site (with graphics) I was happy to see that someone has finally found a solution to create accessible good looking form controls for radio buttons and check boxes.
Being the one person to always read about cool new CSS, JavaScript, PHP, and other related items but never do anything with them I’m really excited about trying something here. I even have the perfect idea for once. Well, we’ll see how perfect it is when it comes to my very flexible deadline I’ve set for myself.
In other news, I was disappointed that the shuttle launch today was scrubbed. Oh well, it’ll happen soon.
As a side update, I’ve been reading The Zen of CSS Design, Stylin’ with CSS, and The CSS Anthology: 101 Essential Tips Tricks and Hacks to brush up on CSS layout skills for the re-launch. If you aren’t reading or don’t have these books, I think they’re well worth the money. Of course, one could use the web, but right now books are working better for me.

That formStyle deal is pretty cool — they certainly look nice. It’s too bad they require additional markup, though. Because you have to put that span around each of your form elements, I probably won’t use it, myself.
Still nice, though.
