background color for checkboxes

browser inconsistancies

[rakeling]

hello all.

when i try to assign a background color to a checkbox in my form,
<input type="checkbox" style="background-color:red">
IE 6 and Netscape 6 do totally different things:
Netscape assigns the color to the inside of the checkbox;
IE assigns the color to the outside of the checkbox.

is there some way to set the *inside* of a checkbox to a color in IE6?

thanks.

Hi, welcom to WebmasterWorld!

Nope, it's one of those 'grey areas' I'm afraid. I'm sure someone will come along and embarass me with a simple solution, but I've never found one ;)
