Re: Styling Radio elements to look like Button element?

I haven't looked at your code, but we've styled radio buttons to look like
big buttons and things like that.

Sometimes we'll place the real <input type="radio"> off screen and wrap an
associated label around the click target. That way when a user clicks on
it, the radio is triggered.

We'll usually use an anchor with javascript to trigger the radio with a
keyboard.
