I am working on a project and I need the background of the checkbox to be yellow and the color of the tick to be white.
<div class="radio-btn">
<input type="checkbox" name="disclaimer" id="rad-1" required="" />
<label for="rad-1">Yes, please!</label>
</div>
This is my HTML and The styling for it is written below
#rad-1 {
height: 20px;
width: 20px;
accent-color: yellow;
}
The background becomes yellow but the color of tick becomes black
I have tried "Color: white;" and "background-color:white;" but none of these work and the tick mark stays black.
here's how it looks
I leave you a possible example: How TO - Custom Checkbox
First we hide the browser's default radio button
.container input {
position: absolute;
opacity: 0;
cursor: pointer;
}
and now we create a custom radio button
.checkmark {
position: absolute;
top: 0;
left: 0;
height: 25px;
width: 25px;
background-color: #eee;
border-radius: 50%;
}

I had to apply some styles to the checkbox and faced many challenges. The below link helped me, please have a look.
How to style a checkbox using CSS
There is no efficient way of doing so (As far as I now), but there are some tolls like https://doodlenerd.com/html-control/css-checkbox-generator to generate custom checkboxes where you can edit a lot of stuff.
They work with custom indicators, which get activated, when you click on them using a label.

Thanks to another user's question here I was able to strike through the text when the checkbox next to it is ticked, thanks to the following HTML and CSS:
<style>
/* Customize the label (the container) */
.container {
position: relative;
padding-left: 50px;
margin-bottom: 12px;
cursor: pointer;
color: #333;
font-size: 18px;
}
/* Hide the browser's default checkbox */
.container input {
display: none
}
/* Create a custom checkbox - using ::before */
.checkmark::before {
content: "";
height: 25px;
width: 25px;
background-color: #fff;
border: solid 2px #194263;
position: absolute;
left:0;
top:0;
margin-right: 10px;
}
/* Show the checkmark when checked */
.container input:checked~.checkmark:after {
display: block;
left: 9px;
top: 5px;
width: 8px;
height: 14px;
border: solid #194263;
border-width: 0 3px 3px 0;
transform: rotate(45deg);
content: "";
position: absolute;
margin-right: 10px;
}
/* strike through the text */
.container input:checked~.checkmark {
text-decoration: line-through
}
</style>
<label class="container">
<input type="checkbox">
<span class="checkmark"></span><br>
</label>
Now, I'd like to let a user add their own text, and still strike through it when the checkbox is ticked. Adding an input field within the span tag as follows does not work.
<label class="container">
<input type="checkbox">
<span class="checkmark"><input type="text" minlength="1" maxlength="100" size="60%" placeholder="Add an item"></span><br>
</label>
Why does this not work? What to do instead?
Your code has the following issue. When you write these lines of css:
.container input:checked~.checkmark {
text-decoration: line-through
}
You're not adding the text-decoration: line-through css property to the text input element you want to strike, but to the checkmark instead. Therefore, the text input element is not receiving any strike-through styles.
What I did to solve your problem was adding the styles to the text input. I did this by doing some small changes to your HTML and CSS, this is the code:
/* Customize the label (the container) */
.container {
position: relative;
padding-left: 50px;
margin-bottom: 12px;
cursor: pointer;
color: #333;
font-size: 18px;
}
/* Hide the browser's default checkbox */
.container input[type="checkbox"] {
display: none
}
/* Create a custom checkbox - using ::before */
.checkmark::before {
content: "";
height: 25px;
width: 25px;
background-color: #fff;
border: solid 2px #194263;
position: absolute;
left:0;
top:0;
margin-right: 10px;
}
/* Show the checkmark when checked */
.container input:checked~.checkmark:after {
display: block;
left: 9px;
top: 5px;
width: 8px;
height: 14px;
border: solid #194263;
border-width: 0 3px 3px 0;
transform: rotate(45deg);
content: "";
position: absolute;
margin-right: 10px;
}
/* strike through the text */
.container input:checked ~ input {
text-decoration: line-through
}
<label class="container">
<input type="checkbox">
<input type="text" minlength="1" maxlength="100" size="60%" placeholder="Add an item">
<span class="checkmark"></span>
<br>
</label>
And this is the result:
im currently stuck with this formating issue in my angular application.
As you can see in the attached images, there is a problem with the clickable area around my checkboxes.
I basically want to adjust the clickable area to the size of the checkbox.
In the 2nd image I highlighted the current area with a background-color: aquamarine to make it more clear.
My SCSS code looks like this. I have a feeling, that this should be an easy task, but I'm somewhat missing something in detail.
.date-checkbox {
display: inline;
float: right;
margin-right: -24px;
margin-top: -23px;
-webkit-transform: scale(2);
}
.disable-date {
opacity: 0.5;
pointer-events: none;
}
.enum-checkbox {
display: inline;
float: right;
margin-right: -24px;
margin-top: -23px;
-webkit-transform: scale(2);
}
/* The container */
.container {
cursor: pointer;
}
/* Hide the browser's default checkbox */
.container input {
opacity: 0;
cursor: pointer;
height: 0;
width: 0;
}
/* Create a custom checkbox */
.checkmark {
position: absolute;
top: 4px;
left: 25px;
height: 15px;
width: 15px;
background-color: blue;
}
/* On mouse-over, add a grey background color */
.container:hover input ~ .checkmark {
background-color: blue;
}
/* When the checkbox is checked, add a blue background */
.container input:checked ~ .checkmark {
background-color: blue;
}
/* Create the checkmark/indicator (hidden when not checked) */
.checkmark:after {
content: "";
position: absolute;
display: none;
}
/* Show the checkmark when checked */
.container input:checked ~ .checkmark:after {
display: block;
}
/* Style the checkmark/indicator */
.container .checkmark:after {
left: 5px;
top: 2px;
width: 5px;
height: 10px;
border: solid white;
border-width: 0 3px 3px 0;
-webkit-transform: rotate(45deg);
-ms-transform: rotate(45deg);
transform: rotate(45deg);
}
My HTML code looks like this:
<div class="enum-checkbox">
<label class="container">
<input type="checkbox" (click)="IncludeExcludeProp(groupobject[g.PROPS.title], $event)"
title="Include in search" />
<span class="checkmark"></span>
</label>
</div>
Since clicking the label essentially clicks the checkbox, I would add padding or width to the label surrounding the checkbox so that it extends as far as you need your clickable area to be.
Note that, for accessibility, I've added aria-label to the checkbox. The title attribute is ignored by screen readers and the label would otherwise contain no helpful information about the checkbox.
.lbl-checkbox {
display: inline-block;
padding: 5em;
background: #eee;
}
<label class="lbl-checkbox">
<input aria-label="an appropriate label" type="checkbox">
</label>
/* radio buttons */
.radio-container {
display: block;
position: relative;
cursor: pointer;
-webkit-user-select: none;
-moz-user-select: none;
-ms-user-select: none;
user-select: none;
padding-left: 1.5em;
margin-bottom: 0.75em;
}
.radio-container input {
position: absolute;
opacity: 0;
cursor: pointer;
}
.radio-container input:checked .radio:after {
display: block;
}
.radio-container:hover .radio {
background: gray;
}
/* custom radio button */
.radio {

I have added custom styles to radio buttons on my website to give them a custom style. My HTML and CSS code is attached in the above snippet. However, now when I click on an input it does not select. I would ideally like to have this working without a JS component.
Please find the solution to your problem:
Codepen link to the solution
One of the issue I find was, you have not specified the color after the radio button is clicked and also the sibling selector was missing. I have added these lines specifically:
.radio-container input:checked ~ .radio {
background-color: #2196F3;
}
Hope it helps!! Thanks.
I have a checkbox. It looks like this.
It works fine... except that you can check the box by clicking the label. This is problematic for two reasons:
I don't like it
I need the user to be able to click the blue link. Right now, it just checks the box
Here is my current HTML:
<label className="container">I have read and do accept <a href={props.link}>{props.topic}</a>
<input type="checkbox" onChange={event => props.onChange(event)}/>
<span className="checkmark"></span>
</label>
Here is my css, which came (roughly) from here: https://www.w3schools.com/howto/tryit.asp?filename=tryhow_css_custom_checkbox
/* Hide the browser's default checkbox */
.container input {
position: absolute;
opacity: 0;
cursor: pointer;
}
/* Create a custom checkbox */
.checkmark {
position: absolute;
top: -2px;
left: 0;
height: 21px;
width: 21px;
background-color: #eee;
}
/* On mouse-over, add a grey background color */
.container:hover input ~ .checkmark {
background-color: #ccc;
}
/* When the checkbox is checked, add a blue background */
.container input:checked ~ .checkmark {
background-color: rgb(29, 29, 29);
}
/* Create the checkmark/indicator (hidden when not checked) */
.checkmark:after {
content: "";
position: absolute;
display: none;
}
/* Show the checkmark when checked */
.container input:checked ~ .checkmark:after {
display: block;
}
/* Style the checkmark/indicator */
.container .checkmark:after {
left: 8px;
top: 4px;
width: 4px;
height: 9px;
border: solid white;
border-width: 0 2px 2px 0;
-webkit-transform: rotate(45deg);
-ms-transform: rotate(45deg);
transform: rotate(45deg);
}
Any thoughts? You can actually play with it in the W3C pen I provided.
.container {
pointer-events: none;
}
.checkmark {
pointer-events: auto;
}
.container a {
pointer-events: auto;
}
First, you can pull the checkbox into it's own container, then, if you want the label to semantically pertain to that specific input, you have to assign it a for attribute, and assign a corresponding id attribute to the input field. Now, you have the best of both worlds. Link is clickable, while the rest of the label checks the checkbox.
<div class="checkbox-container">
<input type="checkbox" id="checkbox">
<span className="checkmark"></span>
</div>
<label class="container" for="checkbox">
I have read and do accept the terms and conditions
</label>
Looks like you've figured out the custom checkbox UI part already, so I'll leave that to you.
I have an issue with my radio buttons, I try to put a border color when it is checked, nothing happens. I tried to read other topics about it, even tried to paste the answers I've found but it still doesn't change the border.
It's probably some silly mistake that I made but I just can't find it, does anyone have the answer?
Thanks a lot.
input[type="radio"]:checked:before {
background: green;
}
input[type="radio"]:checked {
border-color: orange;
}
<div id="radio">
<label>
<input type="radio" name="sexe" value="Homme" id="homme">
Homme
</label>
<label>
<input type="radio" name="sexe" value="Femme" id="femme">
Femme
</label>
</div>
You can not really change the style of basic radio button.
You have to create a custom radio button css.
Try this css:
input[type='radio'] {
-webkit-appearance: none;
width: 20px;
height: 20px;
border-radius: 50%;
outline: none;
border: 3px solid gray;
}
input[type='radio']:before {
content: '';
display: block;
width: 60%;
height: 60%;
margin: 20% auto;
border-radius: 50%;
}
input[type="radio"]:checked:before {
background: green;
}
input[type="radio"]:checked {
border-color: orange;
}
It works for me. I hope I can help.
Apparently, browsers don't allow much custom styling on checkboxes/radio buttons. - Jeremy Thille's comment
You could however, create your own radio button through css, an example of this can be found in this JsFiddle
What happens here:
We hide the borswer's radio input
We style create a custom radio button through css .checkmark
We show / hide a custom checked indicator using :checked, :after and the ~ General sibling combinator
Lastly, we style the checked indicator
Example found here
NOTE, as this is an example, it may be more than you require
The code
/* The container */
.container {
display: block;
position: relative;
padding-left: 35px;
margin-bottom: 12px;
cursor: pointer;
font-size: 22px;
-webkit-user-select: none;
-moz-user-select: none;
-ms-user-select: none;
user-select: none;
}
/* Hide the browser's default radio button */
.container input {
position: absolute;
opacity: 0;
cursor: pointer;
}
/* Create a custom radio button */
.checkmark {
position: absolute;
top: 0;
left: 0;
height: 25px;
width: 25px;
background-color: #eee;
border-radius: 50%;
}
/* On mouse-over, add a grey background color */
.container:hover input ~ .checkmark {
background-color: #ccc;
}
/* When the radio button is checked, add a blue background */
.container input:checked ~ .checkmark {
background-color: #2196F3;
}
/* Create the indicator (the dot/circle - hidden when not checked) */
.checkmark:after {
content: "";
position: absolute;
display: none;
}
/* Show the indicator (dot/circle) when checked */
.container input:checked ~ .checkmark:after {
display: block;
}
/* Style the indicator (dot/circle) */
.container .checkmark:after {
top: 9px;
left: 9px;
width: 8px;
height: 8px;
border-radius: 50%;
background: white;
}
<label class="container">Homme
<input type="radio" checked="checked" name="sexe">
<span class="checkmark"></span>
</label>
<label class="container">Femme
<input type="radio" checked="checked" name="sexe">
<span class="checkmark"></span>
</label>
Hope this helps getting to your desired result
