I've been looking for a way to easily style checkboxes even in those cases where I don't have labels but I haven't found any answer that completely satisfied me so I decided to try and find a way by myself so that all the others might find it useful.
This is what I ended up with.
CSS Checkbox without label
What I do is basically style the after elements and set pointer-events to none so you'll be able to click true the after element.
This allows us to let the checkbox handle the click and change its state from checked to unchecked and we'll then style the after element depending on the checkbox state.
This will be the unchecked style
.check:after{
pointer-events: none;
background: white;
content: ...
....
}
And then we'll have our checked style
.check:checked:after{
background: green; /* Change background and maybe image */
....
}
Please notice that the original checkbox will be still visible under the after element since we can't hide it (hiding it will end up hiding after and before elements too) so you can't play with transparency on your after element but you can still play with background image position and background color as I did in the example.
I hope this will help you with your styles! :)

I have button which is <a> element with href, which doesnt have any background set on :active/:focus/:visited, but on force/3dTouch tap it gets this weird #b8b8bc background under the text only (while <a> doesnt have any children e.g. <span> etc so I suppose this is the text node highlight).
here's the gif to illustrate the behavior.
I've tried adding -webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent but it changes only regular tap color, not the forced/3d one
also I thought maybe that's selection color (as I can reproduce this on various websites) so tried to use selection selectors which didn't help as well
::selection {
background: transparent;
}
::-webkit-selection {
background: transparent;
}
::-moz-selection {
background: transparent;
}
Any ideas about possible origin of this?
Good job digging up.
I had the same issue plus another one and here are my solutions.
Post is old but someone could find it useful like me today.
First of all, the forced background was covering my link text totally because I was using user-select: none; on my header links.
So that's something to check, just in case.
Regarding the background color, Force Touch doesn't use the link parent element background but the one that's under it.
If you want to "feel it", we could say that Forced Touch digs into the direct parent background and let the under layer appears.
So, to counter that without having to touch to background color, I use some z-index in the parent element to elevate it, preventing Forced Touch to "dig" :)
So if your links parent element is named card, you can add to your CSS:
.card {
isolation: isolate;
z-index:1;
}
Now, Force Touch will use the parent background color as we want to.
Okay so I found sort of "solution" based on parent's color.
Try to set *{background: red}.
If worked try set same on few parents .parent1 { background: pink}, .parent2 { background: lightblue}, .parent1 { background: salmon} etc.
In my case I found the color applied to force touched text was menu wrapper's background that takes most of the screen when menu is opened.
Side effect of this change - all forcetouched elements will have same color, no option to specify :hover or :active colors (you can see the color is slightly different on the 1st click) and ALL links will have same background:
I imagine you can try setting wrapper's background via JS based on what is clicked. Not sure if that will work. see docs here:
WebKit DOM Programming Topics
So far this seems to me too fragile to touch and I would not recommend doing this. Though you can change this color I've decided to let OS do what it wants here.
I'm having trouble changing the background color of a certain button on a WordPress plugin.
The button and text are set to white and I'm trying to identify the CSS file that controls it, unfortunately I've had no luck within the inspect element of my browser.
It is incorporated in a popup form - so multiple other files come into play.
I changed the color within the browser during inspect but need a fix.
You can overwrite CSS attributes by setting !important after your definition or by defining the scope better (e.g. by writing body or html before the class selector).
make sure your css file is able to "access" the dom element – if the element is in an iframe the css wont work.
body .wpforms-page-button {
background-color: green !important;
}
Using !important is generally considered hacky. Both rules in your screenshot have the same CSS specificity in that they are both firing on input[type="submit"] and .button.
Without seeing the corresponding HTML I can't give you the exact syntax, but something like
.parentclassname input[type='submit'] and or .parentclassname .button should make your style more specific than the original rule and therefore give it precedence.
Did you try to set !important after the #fff; ?
like this:
input[type=submit] {
background-color: #fff!important;
}
the best way is to define the button in a class, so you can change only the color for this specific button. Otherwise it will changes all the buttons to color #fff if you put the css in a general style.
I have this problem in Safari and Chrome but not in IE.
When I click a button the mousedown event triggers some kind of CSS rule which makes it slightly wider.
Because of this it drops down onto the next row and the click event is not triggered.
It stays on the next row until the mouse button is released.
I'm working on a large existing site and it's difficult to isolate all the CSS, but I think this could be due to an effect inherent in the browser(s).
Is there a CSS way to stop any effects occuring when the button is clicked?
Thanks for your help.
This is the CSS I have found for :active / :hover.
I don't think this could cause it!
a:hover, a:active
{
text-decoration: none;
}
(The button is an image inside an anchor)
Open your page with Chrome. Right click on the element and select inspect element. On the right handside corner of the inspect element handler, you will see few icons.
Click on the middle one(Which is having a arrow. When you hover it a label will display as "Toggle element State").
Change the element state to active (and to focus if it didn't change anything), and now you will be able to see what css rules are used to apply those changes to your button(It can be a padding or width).
Since now you know what the rule is, you can undo it using another rule (Or using javascript). It's hard to say how to remove the effects without knowing what the effects are.
you can declare a class in css name it for exemple abortmousedowncss :
.abortmousedowncss{
width:yourwidth; !important /* this dont allow any css to overide it ;)*/
}
and you can apply it after with jquery like this :
$('#yourbutton').addClass("abortmousedowncss");
I came across this very neat annotation overlay effect: http://tympanus.net/codrops/2012/05/14/annotation-overlay-effect-with-css3/
You can see a live demo here: http://tympanus.net/Tutorials/CSS3AnnotationOverlayEffect/ (you will need to click on the picture there to see the effect)
I am trying to make the text within annotation <span> clickable with some external link, like:
<span>Easy Theme Options</span>
but it doesn't work... whenever I click on the annotation, it transitions back to full size image.
I appreciate any help, thank you!
I made it work, as you see in this Fiddle.
The problem is that the checkbox is always over the spans. And because all the checkbox and the spans are positioned absolute, changing the z-index wouldn't work! The only way I found it to work with only CSS (by not changing to much) is by messing with the pointer-events property and the <div class="ao-annotations">'s z-index. (z-index is layered within an element. Because the annotations <div> and the checkbox are both in <div class="ao-preview">, changing the <span> z-index wouldn't work.
I did the following:
I set the z-index of the div.ao-annotations higher than the input.ao-toggle. This results to not being able to click on the input, so not being able to toggle.
To solve this I added pointer-events: none to the <div class="ao-annotations">. Now the result is the same, but the <span>s are now positioned on top of the input.
To be able to click on the <span>s I added this CSS:
input.ao-toggle:checked ~ .ao-annotations span{
pointer-events: auto;
}
This results to only being able to click on the <span>s when the checkbox is checked.
Summary:
.ao-annotations {
z-index: 20;
pointer-events: none;
}
input.ao-toggle {
z-index: 10;
}
input.ao-toggle:checked ~ .ao-annotations span{
pointer-events: auto;
}
I am very sad to say this only works in IE11 (and all the other browsers)... So you'd probably have to 'hack' with Javascript or rebuild the HTML / CSS.
I hope you can build on this!
I want After click on the radio,
Radio-selected that background color is yellow putting background label, with use of css no js.
how is it?
Example of myself: http://jsfiddle.net/DVJmS/6/
Example of ui: http://jqueryui.com/demos/button/radio.html -> I not want use of plugin this is only a example.
Volia
What you need to do is:
wrap each <input /><label></label> in a <div>
give input[type="radio”] a width and height of 0px
Then add this rule to your css :checked ~ label {
background: #f00;
}
What that last one does is says if there’s a sibling of mine that is checked preceding me then make me have a background of #f00. Just change the alignment and colors to fit your site.
Also, you should never give two elements the same ID. If you want to be able to select two elements at once always uses classes.
