Comments on: FancyForm - Pretty checkboxes and radios

Really slick, thank you!. The only issue I have with it is the onSelect event. If you have a checkbox that is initially in a selected state, the event fires when FancyForm is initialized. For example, if you wanted to use an XHR on select, it will fire before it is clicked on to change state. I was able to overcome this by using a variable for page init, and only to execute the onSelect code after the initial render.

I finally got an error as to why it does not work.

Can't move focus to the control because it is invisible, not enabled, or of a type that does not accept the focus.

FancyForm works just fine. The formcheck script does not.
The tip/error bubble does not work on checkboxes when FF is present. No errors are thrown in Firebug.

Mike, the instructions should still work. Just add the script tags (but not mootools since you've already got that loaded) and it should work just like that.

Anyone have an idea how to get this to work with Fancyform checkboxes?

Awesome will use this seen as it uses MooTools

on line 62 of moocheck.js
change e.preventDefault(); // fix for labels
to

if (typeof e.preventDefault == ‘function’)
e.preventDefault(true);
else if (typeof e.returnValue == ‘function’)
e.returnValue(true);

This should fix any errors in IE 6 and 7

Thanks Garth. I'll leave it someone more patient than myself to figure out the issues with IE.

GUI, the checkbox + radio are only there in the example. When this is actually used, you get to style it yourself.

Very cool… although I’m no interface expert, I’m feeling both the checkbox and radio button to be way too small and perhaps unrecognizable as checkboxes and radio buttons. Can they be scaled up or slightly redesigned?
