I've found another thing: when you're selecting a style, you're only allowed one. Rather than making it radio buttons, you've used checkboxes and popped up a JS alert when I select two. It means I have to de-select the original before changing my mind. You could keep the checkbox look while making it behave as radio buttons would.

This is really bad advice, IMO. A radio button implies "choose 1 of" while a checkbox implies "select 1 or more". That's a basic web design (and W3C) principle. I would suggest changing the list of trims to radio buttons, or at a minimum changing the span.checkbox background image to look like a radio button if you have other reasons for hiding the actual input fields.



Just FYI, this has been fixed, we're now using radio buttons. You can see my response below as to why we were using checkboxes in the first place.
