Checkbox color

[TomG1]

hello
how can I change the inside color of a checkbox?
(not background-color cause that changes the outside)
thanks

AFAIK you cannot. You are just stuck with the way your OS renders checkboxes. If you really need it to look different then you'd have to use some javascript and create your own.

You could create images of a checkbox in both states (checked and unchecked). Color them as you see fit. Use an "onclick" event to change the image to the other state and assign the appropriate corresponding value to a hidden form field.

It's not exactly the same as using a checkbox, but I'm afraid vragabond is right. If you use a standard checkbox form element, you're at the mercy of whichever O/S your visitors are using.

Good luck,
