Make <label> clickable in <li> - html

I have <input type="radio" which i need to make activated when i click on <li> element. I have <label><li></li></label>, label is used to activate radio here (it works). The problem is <li> visually gets separated from other <li>s. I tried making <li><label></label></li> but it makes radio activated only when text inside <label> is clicked. In other words, i need <li><label></label><li> to work even when i'm clicking not the insides of <label></label>. Here's the picture of when it's <label><li></li></label> (ignore radios, those are not the problem):
This problem isn't about radio - I have shown radio on screenshot just to know if radio successfully activated by clicking on label or not. The problem is <label><li></li></label> has <li> inside but it's the <label> which should be inside <li>. If I do so (label inside li), then only "test-60" text is clickable and activates radio, not the whole <li>

<label for="radio-button">test 60</label>
<input type="hidden" value="test-60" id="radio-button"/>
also, recommend making input in position absolute and top 0 and left 0

Open a link and active a checkbox

Im trying to create an element, which when clicked, both opens a hyperlink and actives a label connected to a checkbox. The element is a menu item. When that menu item is clicked, I want the anchor/link to be opened and the menu to be closed through CSS, hence the checkbox.
However, whenever I put the label inside the hyperlink, the checkbox gets checked, but the hyperlink does not get opened.
<a href="#anchor">
<label for="checkbox">
Menu Item
</label>
</a>
When I put the hyperlink inside the label, the opposite happens: the link gets opened, but the checkbox does not get checked.
<label for="checkbox">
<a href="#anchor">
Menu Item
</a>
</label>
Is it possible to active the label and open the hyperlink simultaneously without using JavaScript? If so, how?
Remove the a element! It's not valid to have a label inside an anchor or an anchor inside a label.
Just add the onclick="location.hash=''" event for your input element to run code. (an example below)
<input type="checkbox" id="checkbox" onclick="location.hash='#anchor';" />
<label for="checkbox">Menu Item</label>
<!-- div for margin -->
<div style="height:10000px"></div>
<a name="anchor">Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet.</a>

Position input checkboxes next to each other

I am trying to create a list of 3 checkboxes and next to two of the checkboxes, I want a small checkbox to hide the specific property.
I just have a problem of position the checkboxes properly.
I guess it should be something like
<ul>
<li>
<label>
<input type="checkbox">
Property 1
(
<label>
<input type="checkbox">
Hide
</label>
)
</label>
</li>
(...)
</ul>
but maybe it is not good to place the hide checkbox inside the other checkbox-label, so maybe I should create a table, so the two checkboxes can be aligned next to each other.
use style="display: inline-block;" inside of input tag

Accessing hidden input elements

My question:
How to access hidden input elements via tab?
Detailed explanation:
On my website, for radio buttons I have set visibility none and customized the before element to get a custom design.
The problem is when I try to access the input type radio via tab I am unable to do it since it is visibility hidden.
So, can anyone suggest me how to access hidden input elements with tab?
Website
Demo Form
Please visit the link above, you will find a form there. Now, please try to access the radio buttons with tab. It skips the radio buttons.
You have to have an item in your tab flow that supports tabindex, and since your radio button is hidden that won't work. The anchor tag does support tab index however, so you can wrap the inner elements of each of your li tags with an a tag, and assign it a tabindex that works in your flow...
Change:
<li tabindex="0" class="radio gchoice_2_14_0">
<input style="margin-left:1px;" name="input_14" type="radio" value="2017/2018" id="choice_2_14_0" onclick="gf_apply_rules(2,[0]);" onkeypress="gf_apply_rules(2,[0]);">
<label tabindex="0" for="choice_2_14_0" id="label_2_14_0">2017/2018
</label>
</li>
To:
<li tabindex="0" class="radio gchoice_2_14_0">
<a tabindex="1010">
<input style="margin-left:1px;" name="input_14" type="radio" value="2017/2018" id="choice_2_14_0" onclick="gf_apply_rules(2,[0]);" onkeypress="gf_apply_rules(2,[0]);">
<label tabindex="0" for="choice_2_14_0" id="label_2_14_0">2017/2018
</label>
</a>
</li>
This will give the anchor tag focus when you tab to it (assuming the previous element's tabindex is '1009' or lower).
This answers your question on how to tab to it. Now that you have that, you'll need to do a couple things:
Style the element's css for form li.radio a:focus as you see fit.
Set up key press events for the a elements so that you can actually select your fake radio button with the enter key press when it's focused.

When a label only has a button, a button click does not (fully?) trigger the label

I have two inputs of type radio. For each input there's a correspoding label with a single button inside.
I was expecting that clicking the button would have the same effect as clicking the label: that the corresponding input would be checked.
However, this does not happen. As shown by the following snippet, hovering and pressing the buttons does trigger the corresponding style changes in the radio buttons, but the click action does not select the input, even though the simple labels work as expected.
I've checked that buttons are legal children of labels. Labels allow Phrasing Content, and buttons are Phrasing Content, so everything should be okay there.
I have also tried to add an event listener to both buttons' click events, and within them calling event.preventDefault(), just to make sure that the default behaviour of the button was not preventing the event from bubbling up to the label, but to no avail, the label is receiving the event.
Since this seems to be consistent across browsers (Tested on Firefox 41a and Opera 31b / Chrome 44):
What's happening here that I'm missing?
How can I implement this without trickery (such as styling the label as if it were a button)?
<div>
<input type="radio" name="A" id="one" />
<label for="one">One</label>
<label for="one">
<button type="button">One</button>
</label>
<input type="radio" name="A" id="two" />
<label for="two">Two</label>
<label for="two">
<button type="button">Two</button>
</label>
</div>
A label can only be associated with one form control at a time. This is evidenced by the fact that the for attribute points to an element with a matching ID attribute.
You have a button that is a descendant of your label; the expected interpretation of this is that the label serves as a label for the button. However, you're trying to associate the radio button, not the button element, with the label. The real problem here is that there is a conflict between the form controls and the label; it's unable to figure out which control it's supposed to be associated to.
I'm guessing that the fact the radio button isn't working correctly is a side effect of this. Perhaps it's down to some activation behavior in both the radio button and the button element.
I've checked that buttons are legal children of labels. Labels allow Phrasing Content, and buttons are Phrasing Content, so everything should be okay there.
The validator does nevertheless produce the following error with your markup:
Error: Any button descendant of a label element with a for attribute must have an ID value that matches that for attribute.
This is because a label element with a for attribute needs to have a form control with that ID value for the for attribute to point to, even if that control is a descendant of the label itself. But you can't assign the same ID to more than one element. The result is the aforementioned conflict.
Without knowing what you're trying to accomplish here, the best advice I can give if you just want the label to have the appearance of a button is to just style it as such.
<div>
<input type="radio" name="A" id="one" />
<label for="one">One</label>
<label for="one">
<span style="color: red;">One</span>
</label>
<input type="radio" name="A" id="two" />
<label for="two">Two</label>
<label for="two">
<span style="color: blue;">Two</span>
</label>
</div>

Giving focus on checkbox

I need to know how can I focus the "box" inside the checkbox element when the user hovers the mouse over this element. The only way I can focus the box is hovering my mouse over the box itself, but not over the text. In fact, I cannot even check the box when I click the text.
Thanks in advance!
Wrap the checkbox and text in a <label> tag.
Ex: <label><input name="myCheckbox" type="checkbox" />My Checkbox</label>
I am not sure what you mean by the first line. If you use a <label>, this allow you to click the text, and makes it accessible for people with disabilities.
<input type='checkbox' id="male"><label for="male">Male</label>
