<form>
    <p>Previously:</p>
    <div>
        <input id="a1" type="radio" name="a" value="visa" />
        <label for="a1">Visa</label><br/>
        <input id="a2" type="radio" name="a" value="mastercard" />
        <label for="a2">Mastercard</label>
    </div>
    <p>Now, with CSS3: </p>
    <div class="cc-selector">
        <input id="visa" type="radio" name="credit-card" value="visa" />
        <label class="drinkcard-cc visa" for="visa"></label>
        <input id="mastercard" type="radio" name="credit-card" value="mastercard" />
        <label class="drinkcard-cc mastercard"for="mastercard"></label>
    </div>
</form>

useful.js

// Just, joking... Why use Javascript? You already have CSS3 :)

I have been working with this, and I am much closer, but the final solution still eludes me. Instead of a single line of selections, I have 6 lines of identical selections. Only the first line is really working, however. I suspect the "for=" and "id=" tags need to be modified per line, but I have no idea how, or if any consequent lines in the style section need to be added or changed. Each "name=" tag is the same for every field on any given line, of course and unique between lines.

I figured it out. The "for=" and "id=" tags must be the same for every button in a single group of radio buttons (defined by the "name=" tag), but they must be different for different groups of radio buttons.

Thanks Sir, Great help.

It was big help, thanks!

Thank you very much, its a great solution. Can you create these solution with tooltips?
