...And it's a good thing you said that, too: I've since realized there are easier & far less bloated ways of dealing with the IE radio button/checkbox border problem, Alfred's vert-align bug, ...and hopefully anything else we come across.

 

 

First up: I clued into the fact that the checkbox-border thing can be written out with only one IE expression hack:

 

/* for IE 5.0+: */
input {
    border: expression(this.type=="checkbox"? 'none':
                       this.type=="radio"?    'none':
                       'default');
}

 

Easy-cheesy, so I've added it into rev. 1.20 of "default_css.css" ...which I now highly recommend. :-)

 

 

And the vert-align fix is easier still: just don't specify any padding in the CSS file's input selector. I haven't changed this on the CVS, however, because I have a feeling Justin may disapprove of the aesthetics. [N.B. - I'm an artist too...which almost guarantees we're going to disagree here. :-) ]

 

First, here's how things currently look (wth 3px of padding) in the main browsers I test with:

 

Firefox/Win pads the buttons & text fields but not <input type="file">:

 

 

Whereas IE6/Win pads the buttons & file-upload widget, but not the text fields:

 

 

 

Incidentally, you can test these yourself by using the latest version of "test_layout_screen.tmpl".

 

Okay, now here's what you get when you remove "input {padding:3px;}" from the CSS:

 

Firefox/Win:

 

 

And IE6/Win:

 

 

 

Personally, I like this latter, svelte (and a little more consistent with the default Web buttons) option. But, hey, the big, bulbuous buttons are good too.

Yup, that sounds like enough of a challenge. :-) I'll see what I can do....
