Question

Web Design. Is there a way to make checkboxes bigger on a form?

Answer 1

Checkboxes are notoriously hard to style. You can try applying some CSS properties like width and height, but there are browsers (IE, for example) where that won't really work so well.

Answer 2

Shadow hit the nail on the head... CSS is going to be your best bet right now. But just be warned that it might not look the same is all browsers *Cough*Internet Explore*Cough*.

Answer 3

I honestly (and I am not exagerating) don't know anyone who uses IE anymore except for a few guys I know who only use it to test web designs.

Answer 4

DImples that isn't true though, a good 20-30% of people are forced to use IE at work. Also in that % are the people who know nothing about computers so they never upgrade from IE.

Answer 5

You must account for every browser user if you can. They don't have to look exactly the same in each browser, however, everything should work.

Answer 6

Yeah, if only that were true... 25% of visitors to OpenStudy use IE, with ~50% of those on IE8 or lower :/

Answer 7

@Krewe and @shadowfiend Yes it is true. I said "I", with the emphasis on the "I" part, don't know anybody that uses IE. Of course I realize it is still widely used, I just don't know a single person in my circle of friends that use it. ;)

I also realize the need to test pages in IE. I dabble in Web design myself. My comment was more in response to Krewe's "But just be warned that it might not look the same is all browsers *Cough*Internet Explore*Cough*" comment. ;)
