use CSS to flatten a tickbox?

[Toby Newman]

Hi
I don't know CSS but am just dipping my toe in the water.
I have a form on my site, and have used CSS to "flatten" the
text-input areas of the form (i.e. remove the 3D embossing around the
edges, and replace it with a 1px line).

I used this code:

textarea, select, input, object {
border: solid 1px #eeeeee;
}

Is there similar code to flatten form tickboxes?

Thanks for any advice you can give,
Toby

Thankyou for your valued input ;)

I was thinking maybe something like

textarea, tickbox, select, input, object {
border: solid 1px #eeeeee;
}

existed.

Do you mean a checkbox? There is no "tickbox"

<input type="checkbox" name="chkThis" checked> "Tick" here if...

No worries. :-)

There is no such thing as a tickbox, it is a checkbox. But it is an
attribute of the input element anyway, so the above would still not
work, even with checkbox instead of tickbox.

Since checkboxes are actually input elements, if your original code
doesn't work, it is highly unlikely that you will ever get it to work.
Browsers are very picky as to what they will allow authors to do to
field elements. And rightly so. A 2-d checkbox wouldn't really look like
a checkbox, and users may get confused.

To summarise - you can't do it. And your users will probably be glad
that you can't. :-)
