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.

<div id="someSet">
<div><input type="radio" id="button1"... ></div>
<div><input type="radio" id="button2"... ></div>
<div><input type="radio" id="button3"... ></div>
</div>

There isn't a built-in way to do this...not at the moment anyway. The markup and styling is built around a horizontal set.
