Input variable not working with checkbox using Javascript and CSS

Hi

I just started working with javascript and have been working on creating a nice looking GUI.

I am using the code from http://ryanfait.com/resources/custom...radio-buttons/

I am having a problem with this part of the code:

Code:
<input variable=\"#posttoblogs\" fillwith=\"checked\" type=\"checkbox\" class=\"styled\" name=\"a\">
Specifically:

Code:
fillwith=\"checked\"
The way it is the check mark appears and then disappears. If I replace checked with value it works but then when I check the box it isn't showing up as "true". Hope that makes sense.

Thanking you in advance.

CUSTOM FORM ELEMENTS

The only things you may need to change in this file are the following
variables: checkboxHeight, radioHeight and selectWidth (lines 24, 25, 26)

The numbers you set for checkboxHeight and radioHeight should be one quarter
of the total height of the image want to use for checkboxes and radio
buttons. Both images should contain the four stages of both inputs stacked
on top of each other in this order: unchecked, unchecked-clicked, checked,
checked-clicked.

You may need to adjust your images a bit if there is a slight vertical
movement during the different stages of the button activation.

The value of selectWidth should be the width of your select list image.

Visit http://ryanfait.com/ for more information.

There's no attribute named fillwith. I assume you need something like
Code:
<input variable="#posttoblogs" checked="checked"  value="some-value" type="checkbox" class="styled" name="a">
.

PS: the closing of [code] tag is [/code], not [\code]. You may edit your post to correct it.

Thanks. I'll try it out.

At the bottom of the page here where it has posting rules it says I can edit my posts but I don't see the edit button. Am I going blind from being on the computer so much?
