Boris: I couldn't find the right bug about border-width of form controls. Could you?

Comment 3

[Alfonso Martinez]

I think that the one you want is bug 106317, see also bug 134927. 

Comment 4

[Chris Casciano]

Yes, based on the work in bug 106317 this is expected behavior.

Comment 5

[Boris Zbarsky [:bzbarsky]]

Yep.  This is WONTFIX since letting people change that width lets them create
invisible checkboxes/radios in Mozilla by accident (and many do so).

When the checkbox or radio is used as part of the CSS query the query will not work.

td input[type=checkbox]:focus
{
border: 1px solid black;
}

this rule will never fire because the :focus is not working for the checkbox.

My apologies for my last post since it is irrelevant. I was looking for a parent selector and got confused.
