I've re-implemented the code using <LABEL>, as Anthony advised.
http://code.google.com/r/ryo1kato-web2py/source/list?name=better-checkbox2
And demo is updated also
http://ryo1kato.appspot.com/checkbox
The code is shorter, but still ugly. But I couldn't figure out how to
improve even more,
despite I (briefly) studied a little bit more about HTML4, CSS and JavaScript.
(hope there's 'parent' selector, and ":checked" support in IE6...)
Any idea?
