Custom Form Elements (CFE)

Introducing a new way of styling forms

Ever wondered how you could style form elements like checkboxes, radiobuttons and select-fields in a way you like? You tried hard using the most ass-kicking XHTML/CSS tricks, but didn't succeed without stuffing unnesscesary tags into your sleek sourcecode? Not to speak of the browsers and their "special abilities" in evaluating CSS.

Now this is for you! CFE have finally fount their way to SourceForge.net and allow you to style your forms individually!

What is CFE?

A short explanation

Custom Form Elements unites all efforts in the web to enhance web-based XHTML forms in terms of style, usability and accessibility by using Javascript and/or CSS. Custom Form Elements work cross-browser, currently supporting most A-grade browsers.

The intention behind CFE is to create the one Javascript form replacement script, which may be used with mootools as well as jQuery, Prototype, YUI, Dojo, qooxdoo and so on...

It's completely unobstrusive and allows you to style your forms via CSS - so the presentation is still decoupled from the model and the logic.

How much does it cost?

Here comes the best part...

CFE is completely open source! CFE do not only cost not a single cent but are also distributed under the GNU General Public Licence so you can use it in any way you want. Of cource it would be much appreciated if you donate some money to buy me some coffee and candy ;)
