Can you style an html radio button to look like a checkbox

Question

I have an html form that a user will fill out and print   Once printed  these forms will be faxed or mailed to a government agency  and need to look close enough like the original form published by said agency that a government bureaucrat doesn t spot that this is a reproduction   The data entered in the form is not saved anywhere or even submitted back to a web server   All that matters is that our users can easily find these forms on our intranet site and type into the form for printing with their normal keyboard   On the screen I want to leave the radio button as-is  to enforce and communicate radio button usage  choose only one option    However  when it prints out I need it to print with the square checkbox style rather than the round radio button style   I know how to use a media selector to set styles for print only  so that s not the issue   It s just that I don t know if I can style the radio button like I want at all     If I can t get this working I m gonna have to create a checkbox to shadow each radio button  use javascript to keep the checkboxes and radio buttons in sync  and css to show the one I care about in the proper medium   Obviously if I can just style them it would save a lot of work

I don t think you can make a control look like anything other than a control with CSS   Your best bet it to make a PRINT button goes to a new page with a graphic in place of the selected radio button  then do a window print   from there

I don t think you can make a control look like anything other than a control with CSS   Your best bet it to make a PRINT button goes to a new page with a graphic in place of the selected radio button  then do a window print   from there

In CSS3   input type radio   content url mycheckbox png   input type radio  checked  content url mycheckbox-checked png     In reality    lt span class fakecheckbox gt  lt input type radio gt  lt img src  checkbox png  alt    gt  lt  span gt    media screen   fakecheckbox img  display none    media print   fakecheckbox input  display none      and you ll need Javascript to keep  lt img gt  and radios in sync  and ideally insert them there in a first place     I ve used  lt img gt   because browsers are usually configured not to print background-image  It s better to use image than another control  because image is non-interactive and less likely to cause problems
