Fix WebKit Checkbox Overflow
I want to share a quick tip about working with checkboxes in Chrome and Safari, the WebKit-based browsers. I was recently working with a series of checkboxes when I noticed that Safari and Chrome were doing some funky "cut off" with them:

line-height: 20px;
}
Twenty pixels should be considered the minimum -- anything smaller wont prevent the problem completely.
