Others may have a better idea, but since I can't see an exact example if
give a better answer, I'll go with this:
Checkboxes are of type "input" first of all. If your lists have classes, you
can try something like:
ul.classname input{}
But that will go for any input. You can try aiming for atrribute selectors,
too, although I believe that doesn't work in IE6 or <:
input[type=checkbox]
Anyone correct me if I'm off here.
