You should use

  visibility: hidden; /* or opacity: 0 */
  margin: 0;
  padding: 0;
  width: 0;
  height: 0;

instead; otherwise the checkbox may not be selectable, and accessibility 
keys may not work, as “display: none” tells the UA to not render the 
element.  For some mobile browsers we had to use other tricks, too, but
I do not remember exactly what they were (only “position” comes to mind).
