Styling checkboxes & radio buttons to give them a look other than standard forms can be a key to impress site visitors.
Using FancyForm, which is a powerful checkbox replacement script used to provide the ultimate flexibility in changing the appearance and function of HTML form elements, gives very nice looking form outputs.
FancyForm is very quick to setup (only two lines of markup needed), extendible and will degrade if viewed from an older browser.
P.S. FancyForm uses the ultra-lightweight Mootools JavaScript framework (Mootools is included with the download).
