    I have a checkbox in a form that I want to hide. I can't do type="hidden" because type is already set to type="checkbox". Can I use CSS to hide this checkbox effectively in all browsers? Thanks in advance.

    If it's to be hidden, why do you need a widget? Set the type to "hidden", and be done with it.

    cheers,

    Why would you hide a checkbox? surely the point is to give the user the option of checking it. I suspect your trying to achieve something but going about it the wrong way, why are you trying to hide it?

    Um, you can hide it without setting the "type=hidden" in CSS:

    
input {
     display: none;
}
    Code (markup):
    or

    
input {
     visibility: hidden;
}
    Code (markup):
    I think that was what you were trying to ask...?
