Prototype 1.6.1 and IE7.
IE7 has this neat feature that you can style checkboxes and radio
buttons like this:
input[type=checkbox] {
width: 40px;
height: 40px;
}
that give you these nice really big controls, perfect for an intranet
touchscreen kiosk scenario that we are using. No other browser --
including IE8 -- does this.
There is, however, a Prototype extension I found that looks promising,
called Proto Check[1] that looks promising as a cross-browser way of
implementing this -- I just haven't had time to play with it yet.

It may have something to do with all the server-side (ASP.NET)
combined with all the JavaScript/Prototype stuff I'm doing. Ah, I
remember now -- I have an Event.Observe(window, 'load' ...) with
every page (through a Master Page). I read about "dom:loaded" and
tried to replace "window, 'load'" with it -- I don't think I got any
errors at *that* time, but things just didn't work quite right. I
would love to know what the problem was/is, unfortunately the folks
here keep coming up with these inconvenient things known as
"deadlines", so I didn't get to the bottom of it and switched back...
