checkboxes is a jQuery plugin for custom radios and checkboxes.

I wrote this tired of having to call update methods with existing input beautifier tools.

Besides autoupdating, the inputs will still trigger any "change" or "click" bindings you have placed on them.

checkboxes does not honor any other events besides "click" and "change", nor does it 

// =========
// = USAGE =
// =========

$(selector).checkboxes();

After initialization, if you want to check one or more checkboxes, then do:

$(selector).checkboxes("check",true);

Giving false as the second argument will uncheck the checkboxes, and giving no second argument toggle the checks.

// ===========
// = Example =
// ===========

The following:

<input id="radio_1" type="radio" name="radio_group"/>
<label for="radio_1">Radio 1</label>

<input id="radio_2" type="radio" name="radio_group"/>
<label for="radio_2">Radio 2</label>

<input id="checkbox_1" type="checkbox" name="options[]"/>
<label for="checkbox_1">Checkbox 1</label>

<script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8">
  $("input[type=checkbox],input[type=radio]").checkboxes()
</script>

Will yield the following markup:

<span class="radio">
  <input id="radio_1" type="radio" name="radio_group"/>
</span>
<label for="radio_1">Radio 1</label>

<span class="radio">
  <input id="radio_2" type="radio" name="radio_group"/>
</span>
<label for="radio_2">Radio 2</label>

<span class="checkbox">
  <input id="checkbox_1" type="checkbox" name="options[]"/>
</span>
<label for="checkbox_1">Checkbox 1</label>
