 Custom radio buttons.
I have seen a few sites with custom radio buttons, such as:
http://www.ala.ch (at the top)
http://www.k10k.net (friggin everywhere)
Does anyone know how to do this? I checked around the sources and just get lost.
Thanks.

uh, duh? (maybe I should have reworded the first post)... so do you know to make it switch images when clicked and then be able to send the information?

Probably both would be handled by Javascript. When the image is clicked, a simple image change script makes the radio button look "clicked", and another script passes information to the server that says "this radio button was selected".
Specifically I couldn't tell you, but I'd wager it uses JScript.

It's all CSS, I believe. Do a quick search for it on Google and you'll get some results.

It's not CSS. CSS can't handle passing a variable anywhere.

These are the on/off radio buttons from the ala.ch site:
Code:
<td width="36" height="28" align="left" valign="middle"><a href="javascript:action='add'; changeImage(null,'radiobut_add','chckbox_true'); changeImage(null,'radiobut_remove','chckbox_false');" onMouseover="window.status='subscribe'; return true;" onMouseover="window.status=''; return true;" onClick="window.status=''; return true;" onFocus="blur();"><img src="../media/img/header/chckbox_true.gif" name="radiobut_add" alt="" width="11" height="12" border="0"><img src="../media/img/header/b10.gif" alt="" width="18" height="12" border="0"></a></td>
<td width="36" height="28" align="left" valign="middle"><a href="javascript:action='remove'; changeImage(null,'radiobut_add','chckbox_false'); changeImage(null,'radiobut_remove','chckbox_true');" onMouseover="window.status='unsubscribe'; return true;" onMouseover="window.status=''; return true;" onClick="window.status=''; return true;" onFocus="blur();"><img src="../media/img/header/chckbox_false.gif" name="radiobut_remove" alt="" width="11" height="12" border="0"><img src="../media/img/header/b11.gif" alt="" width="24" height="12" border="0"></a></td>
That javascript would do it all. Have a poke around and you should be able to find the functions that actually do the work.

Could you do it the same way you change the submit button?

It's possible with good old JavaScript (making use of the DOM) to only markup the regular checkbox (for people without JS enabled) and dynamically change that to a working on/off image.
Joey D, no you can't do it that way.
