Re: checkbox labels

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.

     <title>Checkbox testcase</title>
     <style>
       @namespace xforms url("http://www.w3.org/2002/xforms");

       xforms|input {
         caption-side: right;
       }
/*
       xforms|input xforms|label {
         caption-side: right;
       }
       xforms|input::xf-value {
         caption-side: right;
       }
*/
     </style>
     <xforms:model id="mymodel">
       <xforms:instance id="myinstance" xmlns="">
         <values>
           <select>0</select>
         </values>
       </xforms:instance>
       <xforms:bind id="booleanbind" nodeset="/values/select"
                    type="xsd:boolean" />
     </xforms:model>
   </head>
   <body>
     <h2>This testcase should show a checkbox with its label to its right
     </h2>

     <xforms:input bind="booleanbind">
       <xforms:label>This should be a checkbox: </xforms:label>
     </xforms:input>
   </body>
</html>
