The standard way is with label.

The following, tested only in Firefox 10.0.2, Win XP sp3, shows how a
much larger area can be provided; doubtless someone will tell you how to
prevent two alerts if the actual button is hit.

        <form name=fred onclick="Boo(this)"
         style="background:lime; text-align:center;""
        <br><br><br><br><br><br>
        <input type=radio name=tony
         onClick="alert('radio onclick speaking!')">
        <br><br><br><br><br><br>
        </form>

        <script>
        function Boo(F) { F.tony.click() }
        </script>

There should be a way to style the size of radiobuttons and checkboxes,
but I've not found it.

One could emulate large buttons and boxes by using suitable Unicode
characters in another type of element, perhaps even an ordinary button.
