Removing padding around [input type=checkbox]

[Vic]

Could anyone advise on how to remove padding around checkbox in IE? I am not refrring to the padding "style", but rather the blank space around checkbox (which IE considers to be part of the input-object, even though the actual checkbox is very small).

Thanks in advance...

unless you make a new class for the checkbox and use something like:

input.checkbox{
#padding: 0px;
#margin: 0px;
}
in the css I don't think it will be that easy.(I have never experienced this strange padding before now though...)

"#padding: 0px;" is not valid CSS. It isn't a well known hack either. Using it is an extremely bad idea. By the way Opera 5 is prone to this bug just like IE/Win.

Conditional comments are much better for making IE/Win only style rules. Just remember that only IE5+/Win supports them.
