RE: checkbox labels

The examples from Mikko's site show
 output.total::value {font-size:12pt;color:red;width:100pt;margin-left:
10px;caption-side: left;}

It's possible it's broken in X-Smiles, but the bug notes say it worked.

Also, you have xforms|input::xf-value which is a combination of CSS3 and
Mozilla workaround.
Maybe you tried xforms|input::value and this is just a typo.

Hi Leigh,

I tried that, but had no luck.  Here is the testcase I used.  No 
combination of the three style selectors (or any of them alone) worked 
for me using XSmiles alpha version.

     <h2>This testcase should show a checkbox with its label to its

     </xforms:input>
