why is this html and css rendering differently on my webpage? - html

Question

I really liked the toggle switch "Example 3" on this website and they provide the HTML/CSS code with it. Although, when I try it on my webpage it renders as a simple plain checkbox.
I have beginners knowledge of HTML/CSS but the code makes sense and I'm not sure what is wrong.
This is the code and the website attached on the bottom. Example 3 is what it's supposed to look like.
<style>
/* Switch Yes No
==========================*/
.switch-yes-no {
padding: 0;
margin: 15px 0 0;
background: #FFF;
border-radius: 0;
background-image: none;
}
.switch-yes-no .switch-label {
box-shadow: none;
background: none;
}
.switch-yes-no .switch-label:after, .switch-yes-no .switch-label:before {
width: 100%;
height: 70%;
top: 5px;
left: 0;
text-align: center;
padding-top: 10%;
box-shadow: inset 0 1px 4px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2), inset 0 0 3px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.1);
}
.switch-yes-no .switch-label:after {
color: #FFFFFF;
background: #32CD32;
backface-visibility: hidden;
transform: rotateY(180deg);
}
.switch-yes-no .switch-label:before {
background: #eceeef;
backface-visibility: hidden;
}
.switch-yes-no .switch-handle {
display: none;
}
.switch-yes-no .switch-input:checked ~ .switch-label {
background: #FFF;
border-color: #0088cc;
}
.switch-yes-no .switch-input:checked ~ .switch-label:before {
transform: rotateY(180deg)
}
.switch-yes-no .switch-input:checked ~ .switch-label:after {
transform: rotateY(0)
}
</style>
<label class="switch switch-yes-no">
<input class="switch-input" type="checkbox" />
<span class="switch-label" data-on="Yes" data-off="No"></span>
<span class="switch-handle"></span>
</label>

Answer 1

You need to read the instruction carefully. On the top of the page you have a part The Common CSS. This style must be used for all examples below.
For example 3 you need to add the part you have used.

Answer 2

Yes, as the other answers suggest.. You need to add proper styling i.e., all the style classes or files needed. Also, I would like to add that include these files in their proper order inside your project. Remember, order is very important.
