Answer 1

I wrote a short plugin that implement vertical buttonset for radio buttons and checkboxes with jquery ui.

1. jQuery Plugin

(function( $ ){
//plugin buttonset vertical
$.fn.buttonsetv = function() {
  $(':radio, :checkbox', this).wrap('<div style="margin: 1px"/>');
  $(this).buttonset();
  $('label:first', this).removeClass('ui-corner-left').addClass('ui-corner-top');
  $('label:last', this).removeClass('ui-corner-right').addClass('ui-corner-bottom');
  var maxWidth = 0; // max witdh
  $('label', this).each(function(index){
     var labelWidth = $(this).width();
     if (labelWidth > maxWidth ) maxWidth = labelWidth ; 
  })
  $('label', this).each(function(index){
    $(this).width(maxWidth);
  })
};
})( jQuery );

2. Sample markup

<h2> Radio Buttonset </h2>
<div id="radio">
  <input type="radio" id="radio1" name="radio" value="1"/><label for="radio1">Choice 1</label>
  <input type="radio" id="radio2" name="radio" value="2"/><label for="radio2">Choice 2</label>
  <input type="radio" id="radio3" name="radio" value="3"/><label for="radio3">Choice 3</label>
</div>
<h2> Checkbox Buttonset </h2>
<div id="checkbox">
  <input type="checkbox" id="check1" name="check" value="1"/><label for="check1">Choice 1</label>
  <input type="checkbox" id="check2" name="check" value="2"/><label for="check2">Choice 2</label>
  <input type="checkbox" id="check3" name="check" value="3"/><label for="check3">Choice 3</label>
</div>

3. Plugin Usage

$(document).ready(function(){
    //call plugin 
    $("#radio").buttonsetv();
    $("#checkbox").buttonsetv();
});

Here the plugin and example code

I hope this can help you :)

Place the individual buttons in their own div tags.
