Hi, all, I've constructed 3,500+ screengrabs to look at how ~22 browsers render eight form elements against ~20 CSS properties. I've posted them on my Flickr site, but they can be reached here at http://webformelements.com/ Is this the right sort of topic for this mailing list or is there a more appropriate mailing list/group? My main goal with this resource is to see if we can get some sort of standards on how browsers should render form elements through CSS. That way designers don't have to use excessive DIVs or resort to proprietary CSS properties to make forms behave better in modern browsers. A demonstration of how browsers get implementations differently can be seen in the use of the width property on radio buttons: http://tinyurl.com/c3u5yj Some questions that come up is: - Should radio buttons be aligned left when width is applied? - Or should radio buttons be placed in the center? - Or should they do what FF1.5/Mac did and stretch them out? Let me know what you think! If you have any other questions in the meantime, please don't hesitate to ask.
