Very good.... JS is a drawback, but for those working on AJAX apps which require Javascript anyway...I can see this offering a few more UI enhancements.
I don't really see how javascript is a drawback here... of course it would be cooler if it didn't require it, but it's not like the controls break if javascript is disabled.
I saw this page last year It's very cool indeed. I agree that the JS thing (and the browser compatability thing) isn't anything to be afraid of. Nothing "breaks" without it.
I haven't look at the source for that, but I did see something similar many moons ago where the Javascript simply replaces normal checkboxes with div's/img's which would then use the onclick="" event to change image. If the user doesn't have JS enabled, then it simply doesn't replace the checkboxes.
It's a pleasant surprise when you find out just how easy it is.
