title: Extending the clickable area around a checkbox with jQuery
body: <p>I'm designing a task list that uses the standard, browser-supplied checkboxes. But IMHO the checkbox areas are too small and difficult to click, especially if you're doing semi-power user style clicking of multiple checkboxes (for users who don't know keyboard shortcuts but want to do a lot of archiving, deleting, etc. all at once).</p>
  
  <p>Is there any way to make the area around the checkbox clickable, say an extra 5px of padding around it? I'm using jQuery for my primary client-side code, though I'm not opposed to using plain old JS if it makes better sense.</p>
  
  <p>Oh, and I'm not really looking for a plugin. Something lightweight is in order here.</p>
  
  <p>Cheers in advance!</p>
