I need bigger, easier to hit, checkboxes and radios. If that is not
possible, and it appears not, is there a way to map the inside of a
table cell to 'select'. Ideas? I suppose I could use images and
implement the behavior with js. I'm fishing here. Thank you for any
ideas.

No, you don't.

<input type="checkbox" name="..." id="foo"><label for="foo">...</label>

But you don't want to do that.

You could have RTFFAQ, RTFM, and STFW before.

Yes, I do.

Answer is use your own images. Thank you pointed one.

Hardly, given zoom effects.

That may be your answer, and IIUC it would be an unwise one. For you would
assume that such a pseudo-control would be accessible when it is not.

What for?

Zoom is not the answer for all things. Proportion is one.

Perhaps that's why this exact scenario is described in section 14.5.5 on
pages 271-275 of O'Reilly's "Javascript The Definitive Guide". I must
have missed the "Don't try this at home, folks".

It would seem foolishness is inverse proportional to experience.

Is there an accessible option for a multi-state checkbox?

The answer depends on what states you are talking about.

Touche. More appropriately, a tri-state. True, Partially True,
False.

Example scenario:

[ ] Folder
[ ] file2.ext
[ ] file3.ext
[ ] file4.ext

If one of the files are selected, Folder is partially selected
(Partially True).

[o] Folder
[x] file2.ext
[ ] file3.ext
[x] file4.ext
