How to remove the space between inline/inline-block elements?
(41 answers)
Closed 4 years ago.
I'm trying to skin a checkbox as a button with just HTML and CSS, similar to the BS_PUSHLIKE style in Windows. I've got a pretty good look so far, but I can't figure out how to remove some seemingly arbitrary padding/margin around the elements. This has horizontal padding between the "buttons." If I set the display of the .switch elements to table-cell, I can remove the horizontal padding, but then get a tonne of vertical padding.
:root {
--button-color: #ccc;
}
.switch {
display: inline-block;
background: var(--button-color);
vertical-align: top;
-webkit-user-select: none; /* Safari 3.1+ */
-moz-user-select: none; /* Firefox 2+ */
-ms-user-select: none; /* IE 10+ */
user-select: none; /* Standard syntax */
}
.switch input {
display: none;
}
.button {
font-family: sans-serif;
border: 2px outset var(--button-color);
display: table-cell;
vertical-align: middle;
text-align: center;
padding: 5px 10px;
}
input:checked + .button {
padding: 7px 8px 3px 12px;
border-style: inset;
background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.5);
}
<label class="switch">
<input type="checkbox">
<div class="button">Checkbox</div>
</label><br />
<label class="switch">
<input type="checkbox">
<div class="button">As</div>
</label>
<label class="switch">
<input type="checkbox">
<div class="button">Button</div>
</label><br /><br />
<label class="switch">
<input type="radio" name="example">
<div class="button">Radio</div>
</label>
<label class="switch">
<input type="radio" name="example">
<div class="button">As</div>
</label>
<label class="switch">
<input type="radio" name="example">
<div class="button">Button</div>
</label>
Those are the auto-converted "space" character. In HTML, any kind of white space character (space, new line, tab, etc) between 2 inline-block elements will be converted into 1 space character. In this case in the HTML there was a line break so the whitespace is inserted.
To remove those whitespaces, you can choose one of these several methods.
I wanted to use image instead of regular radio inputs.
I made it this way:
input[type="radio"]{
content:url('/images/new-home-page/Checkbox.png');
height:3vh;
width:3vh;
}
input[type="radio"]:checked{
content:url('/images/new-home-page/checkedCheckbox.png');
}
Unfortunately, they have circles around them. I have tried to use border:none or text-decoration:none but it doesnt help. Could someone help me with this please?
They look like this now:
I would request you to use the appearance property of CSS, which is responsible for the components like this. So setting the appearance: none will make a kind of display: none to the component's appearance, which is what is needed for you. You are good to use this bit of CSS to make the component not display, while keeping the element in the view:
-webkit-appearance: none;
-moz-appearance: none;
-ms-appearance: none;
-o-appearance: none;
appearance: none;
Snippet
input {
content: url('http://i.stack.imgur.com/M3EkO.png');
height: 16px;
width: 16px;
-webkit-appearance: none;
-moz-appearance: none;
appearance: none;
}
input:checked {
content: url('http://i.stack.imgur.com/Ialva.png');
}
Checkbox:
<input type="checkbox" name="" id="" /> <br />
Radios:
<input type="radio" name="Hi" id="" />
<input type="radio" name="Hi" id="" />

You must hide radio buttons and add more elements like <span> and <label>
Here is how it should work: http://jsfiddle.net/etz9Lfat/
Here is a another interesting solution, using pseudo element, where you also get rid of the surrounding focus outline.
The really good with this is it works on IE 8-11 as well, which unfortunately the better solution using appearence don't.
input[type="radio"] {
display:none;
}
input[type="radio"] + label {
position: relative;
padding-left: 54px;
cursor:pointer;
font-size: 26px;
}
input[type="radio"] + label:before {
content: "";
position: absolute;
left: 0;
top: 50%;
margin-top: -22px;
width:46px;
height:46px;
background: url('http://i.stack.imgur.com/M3EkO.png');
background-size: contain;
}
input[type="radio"]:checked + label:before {
background: url('http://i.stack.imgur.com/Ialva.png');
}
<input id="cb" value="1" name="cb" type="radio">
<label for="cb">Text 1</label>
<input id="cb2" value="2" name="cb" type="radio">
<label for="cb2">Text 2</label>
i would suggest a whole other solution.
input[type="checkbox"], input[type="radio"] {
display:none;
}
input[type="checkbox"] + label{
padding-left:35px;
}
input[type="checkbox"] + label span {
display:inline-block;
width:52px; /* width of the checkbox */
height:53px; /* height of the checkbox */
margin:-1px 10px 0 -35px;
vertical-align:middle;
background:url('http://i.stack.imgur.com/M3EkO.png') left top no-repeat;
cursor:pointer;
}
/* replaces the image if checked.*/
input[type="checkbox"]:checked + label span {
background:url('http://i.stack.imgur.com/Ialva.png') left top no-repeat;
}
<input id="cb" value="" type="checkbox">
<label for="cb"><span></span> Text</label>
With this Solution you wont have any Problems in all browsers.
It will hide the checkbox itself, but it still works because you can click the label, which is connected to the checkbox.
In this label there is a span with your background image and the sizes of it. So it still looks like a checkbox and your hidden checkbox will be "checked" or "unchecked"
Add this in your css file:
input[type=radio]{
display:none;
}

I am trying to customize Radio buttons on bootstrap but it is not working, When i try outside bootstrap environment in plain HTML it works, Below is code for HTML followed by CSS I am using
<div class="radio">
<label>
<input type="radio" name="optionsRadios" id="optionsRadios1" value="option1" checked>
My Current AMP Policies
</label>
</div>
<div class="radio">
<label>
<input type="radio" name="optionsRadios" id="optionsRadios2" value="option2">

</label>
</div>
<div class="radio">

<input type="radio" name="optionsRadios" id="optionsRadios3" value="option3">

</div>
THE CSS
.newradio input[type=radio] {display: none;}
.newradio label {
display: inline-block;
cursor: pointer;
position: relative;
padding-left: 25px;
margin-right: 15px;
font-size: 13px;
}
.newradio label:before {
content: "";
display: inline-block;
width: 14px;
height: 14px;
border-radius: 7px;
margin-right: 10px;
position: absolute;
left: 0;
bottom: 3px;
background-color: #fff;
border:solid 1px #bcb882;
}
.newradio input[type=radio]:checked + .newradio label:before {
content: "";
background: url(../../Content/images/radio-check.png);
display: inline-block;
}
The reason for .newradio is I am using that div as parent class of above given HTML, I am getting proper display of my Radios but Checked status (the image radio-check) is not showing, I tried using color change instead of background image but that doesn't work either.
Does anyone has experience in customizing radio button in bootstrap? please guide

You need to find the bootstrap css class and overwrite it. Or use ID instead of class in the css. When that also don't work try !important.
I've been trying to make custom radio buttons work. I had been using check boxes but found that I needed to restrict the checked options to one. I've been looking at examples/tutorials that I found using Google and thought I understood enough for a simple set of 4 radio buttons but ...
They display correctly initially with the first button checked but checking on other buttons just displays the checked PNG: a previously checked button does not revert to unchecked state.
The buttons are arranged sequentially horizontally in their own div.
HTML
<div class='radio'>
<input id='B12' type='radio' class='radiobutton' checked>
<label id='lblB12' class='radiobutton-label' for='B12'>IR </label>
<input id='BBW' type='radio' class='radiobutton' >
<label id='lblBBW' class='radiobutton-label' for='BBW'>Wide</label>
<input id='B10' type='radio' class='radiobutton' >
<label id='lblB10' class='radiobutton-label' for='B10'>B10</label>
<input id='B8' type='radio' class='radiobutton' >
<label id='lblB8' class='radiobutton-label' for='B8'>B8 </label>
</div>
CSS3
.radiobutton-label {
display: inline-block;
cursor: pointer;
position: relative;
padding-left: 25px;
margin-right: 15px;
font-size: 15px;
}
input[type="radio"] {
display: none;
margin: 10px;
}
.radiobutton-label:before {
content:"";
display: inline-block;
width: 24px;
height: 24px;
margin-right: 10px;
position: absolute;
left: 0;
bottombottom: 1px;
background: url(resources/CheckBoxUnchecked.png) left top;
}
input[type=radio]: + label:before {
background: url(resources/CheckBoxUnchecked.png) left top;
}
input[type=radio]:checked + label:before {
background: url(resources/CheckBoxOK.png) left top;
}
This is the first web page that I have attempted.
Relevant Spec - 17 Forms / 17.2.1 Control types
Radio buttons are like checkboxes except that when several share the same control name, they are mutually exclusive: when one is switched "on", all others with the same name are switched "off".
Therefore if you want the radio elements to be mutually exclusive, just give them all the same name attribute. In this instance, I just used name="checkboxes".
Updated HTML EXAMPLE HERE
<div class='radio'>
<input id='B12' type='radio' class='radiobutton' name="checkboxes" checked="checked"/>
<label id='lblB12' class='radiobutton-label' for='B12'>IR </label>
<input id='BBW' type='radio' class='radiobutton' name="checkboxes"/>
<label id='lblBBW' class='radiobutton-label' for='BBW'>Wide</label>
<input id='B10' type='radio' class='radiobutton' name="checkboxes"/>
<label id='lblB10' class='radiobutton-label' for='B10'>B10</label>
<input id='B8' type='radio' class='radiobutton' name="checkboxes"/>
<label id='lblB8' class='radiobutton-label' for='B8'>B8 </label>
</div>
Base CSS:
input[type=radio] + label:before {

input[type=radio]:checked + label:before {
background: url('http://www.csscheckbox.com/checkboxes/vlad.png') 2px -18px no-repeat;
}
Is there a way to control the size of the radio button in CSS ?
This css seems to do the trick:
input[type=radio] {
border: 0px;
width: 100%;
height: 2em;
}
Setting the border to 0 seems to allow the user to change the size of the button and have the browser render it in that size for eg. the above height: 2em will render the button at twice the line height. This also works for checkboxes (input[type=checkbox]). Some browsers render better than others.
From a windows box it works in IE8+, FF21+, Chrome29+.
Old question but now there is a simple solution, compatible with most browsers, which is to use CSS3. I tested in IE, Firefox and Chrome and it works.
input[type="radio"] {
-ms-transform: scale(1.5); /* IE 9 */
-webkit-transform: scale(1.5); /* Chrome, Safari, Opera */
transform: scale(1.5);
}
Change the value 1.5, in this case an increment of 50% in size, according to your needs. If the ratio is very high, it can blur the radio button. The next image shows a ratio of 1.5.
You can control radio button's size with css style:
style="height:35px; width:35px;"
This directly controls the radio button size.
<input type="radio" name="radio" value="value" style="height:35px; width:35px; vertical-align: middle;">
A solution which works quite well is described right here:
https://developer.mozilla.org/fr/docs/Web/HTML/Element/Input/radio
The idea is to use the appearance property, which when set to none allows to change the width and height of the radio button.
The radio buttons are not blurry, and you can add other effects like transitions and stuff.
Here's an example :
input {
-webkit-appearance: none;
-moz-appearance: none;
appearance: none;
border-radius: 50%;
width: 16px;
height: 16px;
border: 2px solid #999;
transition: 0.2s all linear;
margin-right: 5px;
position: relative;
top: 4px;
}
input:checked {
border: 6px solid black;
outline: unset !important /* I added this one for Edge (chromium) support */
}
The only drawback is that it is not supported yet on IE.
Here's a GIF below to give an idea of what can be achieved. The result will look nicer on an actual browser.

Not directly. In fact, form elements in general are either problematic or impossible to style using CSS alone. the best approach is to:
hide the radio button using javascript.
Use javascript to add/display HTML that can be styled how you like e.g.
Define css rules for a selected state, which is triggered by adding a class "selected" to yuor span.
Finally, write javascript to make the radio button's state react to clicks on the span, and, vice versa, to get the span to react to changes in the radio button's state (for when users use the keyboard to access the form). the second part of this can be tricky to get to work across all browsers. I use something like the following (which also uses jQuery. I avoid adding extra spans too by styling and applying the "selected" class directly to the input labels).
javascript
var labels = $("ul.radioButtons).delegate("input", "keyup", function () { //keyboard use
if (this.checked) {
select($(this).parent());
}
}).find("label").bind("click", function (event) { //mouse use
select($(this));
});
function select(el) {
labels.removeClass("selected");
el.addClass("selected");
}
html
<ul class="radioButtons">
<li>
<label for="employee1">
employee1
<input type="radio" id="employee1" name="employee" />
</label>
</li>
<li>
<label for="employee2">
employee1
<input type="radio" id="employee2" name="employee" />
</label>
</li>
</ul>
Resizing the default widget doesn’t work in all browsers, but you can make custom radio buttons with JavaScript. One of the ways is to create hidden radio buttons and then place your own images on your page. Clicking on these images changes the images (replaces the clicked image with an image with a radio button in a selected state and replaces the other images with radio buttons in an unselected state) and selects the new radio button.
Anyway, there is documentation on this subject. For example, read this: Styling Checkboxes and Radio Buttons with CSS and JavaScript.
Here's one approach. By default the radio buttons were about twice as large as labels.

Well, I am from the future as compared to the posted year of this question, but I believe my answer will benefit all the new visitors:
So if you want to increase the size of the "radio" button with CSS you can simply do it by putting the following styling rules in CSS and it will help you,
input[radio] {
height: 20px;
width: 20px;
vertical-align: middle;
}
This works fine for me in all browsers:
(inline style for simplicity...)
<label style="font-size:16px;">
<input style="height:1em; width:1em;" type="radio">
<span>Button One</span>
</label>
The size of both the radio button and text will change with the label's font-size.
Directly you can not do this. [As per my knowledge].
You should use images to supplant the radio buttons. You can make them function in the same manner as the radio buttons inmost cases, and you can make them any size you want.
You can also use the transform property, with required value in scale:
input[type=radio]{transform:scale(2);}
(Vue3) HTML:
<h2>Group By</h2>
<div class="radioButtons">
<label><input type="radio" id="groupByDevice"
v-model="data.groupBy" value="device" />
<span>Device Location</span>
</label>
<label><input type="radio" id="groupByLocation"
v-model="data.groupBy" value="location" />
<span>Device Type</span></label>
</div>
</div>
SASS:
$vw-viewport: 2400px;
#function toVw($vw-viewport, $value) {
#return ($value / $vw-viewport) * 100vw;
}
label {
font-size: toVw($vw-viewport, 16px);
line-height: toVw($vw-viewport, 18px);
}
.radioButtons {
> label {
white-space: no-wrap;
display: inline-block;
height: toVw($vw-viewport, 22px);
margin: 0 toVw($vw-viewport, 10px) toVw($vw-viewport, 5px) 0;
> input[type=radio] {
-webkit-appearance: none;
-moz-appearance: none;
appearance: none;
display: inline-block;
border-radius: 50%;
width: toVw($vw-viewport, 18px);
height:toVw($vw-viewport, 18px);
border: toVw($vw-viewport,2px) solid #747474;
margin: 0;
position: relative;
top: toVw($vw-viewport, 2px);
background: white;
&::after {
content: '';
position: absolute;
top: 12.5%;
left: 12.5%;
right: 12.5%;
bottom: 12.5%;
width: auto;
height: auto;
background: rgb(80, 95, 226);
opacity: 0;
border-radius: 50%;
transition: 0.2s opacity linear;
}
&:checked {
&::after {
opacity: 1 !important;
background: rgb(80, 95, 226) !important;
}
}
}
&:hover {
cursor: pointer;
> input[type=radio]::after {
opacity: 1;
background: #cfd1e2;
}
}
> span {
display: inline-block;
position: relative;
top: toVw($vw-viewport, -1px);
padding-left: toVw($vw-viewport, 7px);
}
}
}
The result is like this. On hover, a gray dot appears as well. The labels will wrap horizontally when there is room, there was not enough room here so they stack. This scales with the page. If you don't need that, remove the SASS function and use the pixels directly. This is a case where !important is being used correctly IMHO, in this case to override hover when the radio is checked.
