pdatabase.dyndns.biz — Tired of the lame javascript hacks? Using only proper CSS and semantic markup, it's still possible to replace default sytem graphics for these widgets with whatever custom look you like. Learn a new CSS trick!

Yes, the first valid criticism yet. My artworks sucks, but these do actually make the checkboxes darker when they have focus. And because of the way the CSS is working, I know that it's the checkbox itself that has focus, and not the label. When they have focus already, the spacebar can set/unset them. So...That only means that tab won't tab through to them. Working on it.

Yeah ... I was so curious I went up to the top level: <a class="user" href="http://pdatabase.dyndns.biz/">http://pdatabase.dyndns.biz/</a>"Formerly known as the Revolutionary Porn Categorization Database!"Then later on:"So, if after reading all this, you'd like a free beta account (with the option to make it a permanent free account at a later date), just email me. And if you think this is cool, tell your friends! Hell, invite them if you have your own account!"That's brilliant! Who would suspect somebody of "pushing the limits of CSS" in order to drive traffic to their pr0n database?

I think this is something designers or really anyone should stay away from. While form elements arent that attractive, if I had to figure out what a form looked like on every site, I woulod go bonkers.Leave the UI features alone for consistency's sake.

@ KillerJ59JYou're angry at someone making fun at FF when practically the entire digg community is laying the cabbage on IE? He has just as much a right to say that he hates FF as anyone else who says they hate IE, whether or not you have the same opinion.

I am really getting tired of people pushing the hype about Firefox vs. IE. There are many things Firefox doesn't even do right. As a matter of fact, from my development standpoint, Firefox is a bigger pain than IE.Take the box model, for instance. Even though Firefox implements the "box model standard" better than IE, 1.) it still isn't totally to standard and 2.) it's buggy as hell. I'm sorry, but if I declare a box to be 100% wide, and add a 1px border, I don't want the box to cause a scroll bar b/c it's 100% 1px! I have to use -moz-box-sizing in order to conform to other browsers.And Firefox doesn't support inline-block... which is in the standard. So much for standards-based. Even Firefox has customized style selectors... which most people knock IE for implementing. My company has logged 6 show-stopper CSS bugs against Firefox in the last year. To their credit, they were fixed quickly... which is more than I can say for Microsoft.Look, I'm no IE fan, but let's stop with the "get a REAL browser... download Firefox!" nonsense, ok kids? The fact is that there are a lot of browsers out there... and not a single one of them implements a pure CSS / HTML standard as it is written. I don't hear any of you saying "get a real browser, like Opera, or Firefox, or etc." Firefox got a lot of hype and allows you to add plugins (which I use regularly) but the fact of the matter is NO browser is going to own 100% of the market, so let's stop with the browser-snobbery.

@NoMoreNicksLeftThis isn't a screwdriver that you only use 15% of the time, it's a screwdriver that only works with 15% of screws. This wouldn't be a problem if it degraded gracefully, but unfortunately that isn't the case.
