Custom Checkbox Images

  1. I've been trying to customize the checkboxes on my form, I've read a few threads in the forums that I came across, and they've helped me a bit, but I'm still not quite there.

    This is the form I am currently working on,

    http://www.ewebsolutionz.com/test/eWebMobile/mobilewp/contact/

    I'm trying to assign custom background images for each checkbox, (both unchecked, and checked states) and also change their positioning so they are in a horizontal orientation rather than a vertical stack.

    This is an image of what I currently have,

    and what I'm after,

    http://www.ewebsolutionz.com/test/eWebMobile/mobilewp/wp-content/themes/eWebMobileWpTheme/Images/3.png

    any help to get me toward that direction would be really appreciated
    Thanks in advance!

  2. Okay.. After reviewing some of my code, I was able to compare it to the example in this thread and solve my problem with the images showing.

    However, I'm still having a problem getting the checkboxes to be aligned horizontally. I've tried different css display options, ie, block, inline, inline block, float left etc... basically anything I could think of. I also tried using the CSS ready class gf_list_inline. That caused the checkboxes to be horizontally aligned, but made my custom images disappear and made the default checkboxes re-appear.

    Thanks again in advance!

  3. Try this ready class out and see how that goes for you:

    gf_list_2col

  5. Got it - change it to gf_list_4col and then drop this CSS into your theme's stylesheet:

    [css]
    #input_1_7 label {
    margin-left: 0;
    }

    Result
