I have created a CSS checkbox. It’s based on a CodePen script I've whittled down, but I can't find how to modify it for a "required" checkbox. The best I can do is to change the color of the box-shadow on "hover", but that's as close as I can get.
Here is what I have:
.checkbox1 {
width: 25px;
margin: 20px 100px;
position: relative;
}
.checkbox1 label {
cursor: pointer;
position: absolute;
width: 16px;
height: 16px;
top: 2px;
left: 3px;
background: linear-gradient(#ffffff, #dddddd 80%);
border: 0.5px solid #7d878d;
border-radius: 4px;
box-shadow: 0px 1px 2px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2);
}
.checkbox1 label:after {
opacity: 0.0;
content: '';
position: absolute;
width: 14px;
height: 6px;
background: transparent;
top: 1px;
left: 2px;
border: 3px solid #ff6600;
border-top: none;
border-right: none;
transform: rotate(-50deg);
}
.checkbox1 label::after {
opacity: 0.0;
}
.checkbox1 input[type=checkbox]:checked+label:after {
opacity: 5;
}
.checkbox2 {
width: 25px;
margin: 20px 100px;
position: relative;
}
.checkbox2 label {
cursor: pointer;
position: absolute;
width: 16px;
height: 16px;
top: 2px;
left: 3px;
background: linear-gradient(#ffffff, #dddddd 80%);
border: 0.5px solid #7d878d;
border-radius: 4px;
box-shadow: 0px 1px 2px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2);
}
.checkbox2 label:after {
opacity: 0.0;
content: '';
position: absolute;
width: 14px;
height: 6px;
background: transparent;
top: 1px;
left: 2px;
border: 3px solid #ff6600;
border-top: none;
border-right: none;
transform: rotate(-50deg);
}
.checkbox2 label::after {
opacity: 0.0;
}
.checkbox2 label:hover {
box-shadow: 0px 0px 4px 0px #ff0000;
opacity: 5;
}
.checkbox2 input[type=checkbox]:checked+label:after {
opacity: 5;
}
<div class="checkbox1">
<input type="checkbox" value="1" id="input1" name="" />
<label for="input1"></label>
</div>
<div class="checkbox2">
<input type="checkbox" value="2" id="input2" name="" required="" />
<label for="input2"></label>
</div>
Use [required] to select the checkbox that has the required attribute, then make your styles based on whether or not it is checked.
I've edited your original code to show this working in the demo below. I've added comments to the CSS to show where I've made the changes.
As you can see, the second checkbox is marked as being "required." Therefore, the [required] initial styles (red box shadow) are applied. Once it is checked, the [required]:checked styles are applied.
.checkbox1 {
width: 25px;
margin: 20px 100px;
position: relative;
}
.checkbox1 label {
cursor: pointer;
position: absolute;
width: 16px;
height: 16px;
top: 2px;
left: 3px;
background: linear-gradient(#ffffff, #dddddd 80%);
border: 0.5px solid #7d878d;
border-radius: 4px;
box-shadow: 0px 1px 2px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2);
}
.checkbox1 label:after {
opacity: 0.0;
content: '';
position: absolute;
width: 14px;
height: 6px;
background: transparent;
top: 1px;
left: 2px;
border: 3px solid #ff6600;
border-top: none;
border-right: none;
transform: rotate(-50deg);
}
.checkbox1 label::after {
opacity: 0.0;
}
.checkbox1 input[type=checkbox]:checked+label:after {
opacity: 5;
}
.checkbox2 {
width: 25px;
margin: 20px 100px;
position: relative;
}
.checkbox2 label {
cursor: pointer;
position: absolute;
width: 16px;
height: 16px;
top: 2px;
left: 3px;
background: linear-gradient(#ffffff, #dddddd 80%);
border: 0.5px solid #7d878d;
border-radius: 4px;
box-shadow: 0px 1px 2px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2);
}
.checkbox2 label:after {
opacity: 0.0;
content: '';
position: absolute;
width: 14px;
height: 6px;
background: transparent;
top: 1px;
left: 2px;
border: 3px solid #ff6600;
border-top: none;
border-right: none;
transform: rotate(-50deg);
}
.checkbox2 label::after {
opacity: 0.0;
}
/* Here, we set the default style of an UNCHECKED REQUIRED checkbox */
.checkbox2 input[type="checkbox"][required]+label {
box-shadow: 0px 0px 4px 0px #ff0000;
opacity: 5;
}
/* Now, we set the style of a CHECK REQUIRED checkbox */
.checkbox2 input[type="checkbox"][required]:checked+label {
box-shadow: 0px 0px 0px 0px transparent !important; /* Remove the box-shadow */
}
.checkbox2 input[type=checkbox]:checked+label:after {

}
<div class="checkbox1">
<input type="checkbox" value="1" id="input1" name="" />
<label for="input1"></label>
</div>
<div class="checkbox2">

<label for="input2"></label>
</div>
I've styled a checkbox and wanted to make a checkmark with the :after element. However, I can not turn it around. The same style attached to a div works fine.
Used style:
content: '';
position: absolute;
width:.5em;
height:.2em;
transition: all .2s;
border-left: 2px solid red;
border-bottom: 2px solid red;
top: 0.4em;
left: 0.3em;
transform: rotate(-45deg);
See a Codepen here: Codepen
Multiple transform overrides the previous transform. Better to write them as shorthand
transform: rotate(-45deg) scale(1);
Try this code
.wb_checkbox {
position: relative;

.wb_checkbox>input[type="checkbox"] {

Is this possible to customize this two elements without targeting the label of each one of them and using only css(with html and imgs)?
I tried to use input[type=radio]::after, but it doesn't seem to work. But here's a nice little trick that works in all modern browsers:
Put a <span> after every radio button, with no whitespace between. This span is above the input, but the input is still clickable because of pointer-events: none (this is not supported in older IE Versions).
Now you can style the buttons however you want:
span.customRadio {
display: none;
}
input[type="radio"] {
width: 16px;
height: 16px;
margin: 0;
cursor: default;
}
input[type="radio"] + span.customRadio {
display: inline-block;
width: 16px;
height: 16px;
background-color: white;
margin: 0 0 0 -16px;
border-radius: 50%;
box-shadow: 0 0 3px -1px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.8);
pointer-events: none;
}
input[type="radio"] + span.customRadio::after {
content: '.';
color: transparent;
position: absolute;
display: block;
width: 2px;
height: 2px;
margin: 7px 0 0 7px;
opacity: 0.6;
border-radius: 50%;
transition: .2s;
}
input[type="radio"]:checked + span.customRadio::after {
width: 10px;
height: 10px;
margin: 3px 0 0 3px;
opacity: 1;
background-color: #3388ff;
box-shadow: inset 0 0 2px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2);
}
<input name="test" type="radio" checked="checked"><span class="customRadio"></span>
<input name="test2" type="radio"><span class="customRadio"></span><br><br>
In action:<br>
<input name="test3" type="radio"><span class="customRadio"></span>

}
/*Radiobutton*/
input[type='radio']+span {
background-position: -32px 0;
}
input[type='radio']:checked + span {
background-position: -48px 0;

input[type='radio']:hover:checked + span,
input[type='radio']:focus:checked + span {
background-position: -48px -16px;
}
input[type='radio']:hover + span,
input[type='radio']:focus + span {
background-position: -32px -16px;
}
input[type='radio']:disabled + span {

Use labels, its makes styling & customization easy.

I'm building a contact form with a css transform effect that uses the labels on the input fields. I need the final one's label to act the same way as the previous ones, but this final one needs to be a multi-line text area. Is there anyway to accomplish this?

Is it possible to set the size of a checkbox using CSS or HTML across browsers?
width and size work in IE6+, but not with Firefox, where the checkbox stays 16x16 even if I set a smaller size.
It's a little ugly (due to the scaling up), but it works on most newer browsers:
input[type=checkbox]
{
/* Double-sized Checkboxes */
-ms-transform: scale(2); /* IE */
-moz-transform: scale(2); /* FF */
-webkit-transform: scale(2); /* Safari and Chrome */
-o-transform: scale(2); /* Opera */
transform: scale(2);
padding: 10px;
}
/* Might want to wrap a span around your checkbox text */
.checkboxtext
{
/* Checkbox text */
font-size: 110%;
display: inline;
}
<input type="checkbox" name="optiona" id="opta" checked />
<span class="checkboxtext">
Option A
</span>
<input type="checkbox" name="optionb" id="optb" />
<span class="checkboxtext">
Option B
</span>
<input type="checkbox" name="optionc" id="optc" />
<span class="checkboxtext">
Option C
</span>
Working solution for all modern browsers.
input[type=checkbox] {
transform: scale(1.5);
}
<label><input type="checkbox"> Test</label>
Compatibility:
IE: 10+
FF: 16+

An easy solution is use the property zoom:
input[type="checkbox"] {
zoom: 1.5;
}
<input type="checkbox" />
2020 version - using pseudo-elements, size depends on font size.
Default checkbox/radio is rendered outside of screen, but CSS creates virtual elements very similar to default elements. Supports all browsers, no blur. Size depends on font size. Keyboard actions (space, tabs) are also supported.

2017 version - using zoom or scale
Browser will use non-standard zoom feature if it is supported (nice quality) or standard transform: scale (blurry on Safari) as fallback.

input[type="radio"], input[type=checkbox]{

I just came out with this:
input[type="checkbox"] {display:none;}
input[type="checkbox"] + label:before {content:"☐";}
input:checked + label:before {content:"☑";}
label:hover {color:blue;}
<input id="check" type="checkbox" /><label for="check">Checkbox</label>
Of course, thanks to this, you can change the value of content to your needs and use an image if you wish or use another font...
The main interest here is that:
The checkbox size stays proportional to the text size
You can control the aspect, the color, the size of the checkbox
No extra HTML needed !
Only 3 lines of CSS needed (the last one is just to give you ideas)
Edit:
As pointed out in the comment, the checkbox won't be accessible by key navigation. You should probably add tabindex=0 as a property for your label to make it focusable.

The appearance of checkboxes seems to be fixed by default. But as pointed out by Worthy7 this can be remedied using CSS appearance property. It will make checkboxes completely empty, so you can define your own appearance. What is nice about this: You can use your existing HTML code. Downside: It is experimental technology. Edge (legacy) and IE do not use the custom style.
Here are the needed CSS styles:
input[type=checkbox] {
width: 14mm;
-webkit-appearance: none;
-moz-appearance: none;
height: 14mm;
border: 0.1mm solid black;
}
input[type=checkbox]:checked {
background-color: lightblue;
}
input[type=checkbox]:checked:after {
margin-left: 4.3mm;
margin-top: -0.4mm;
width: 3mm;
height: 10mm;
border: solid white;
border-width: 0 2mm 2mm 0;
-webkit-transform: rotate(45deg);
-moz-transform: rotate(45deg);
-ms-transform: rotate(45deg);
transform: rotate(45deg);
content: "";
display: inline-block;
}
<label><input type="checkbox"> Test</label>

I think the simplest solution is re-style the checkbox as some users suggest. The CSS below is working for me, only requires a few lines of CSS, and answers the OP question:
input[type=checkbox] {
-webkit-appearance: none;
-moz-appearance: none;
vertical-align: middle;
width: 14px;
height: 14px;
font-size: 14px;
background-color: #eee;
}
input[type=checkbox]:checked:after {
position: relative;
bottom: 3px;
left: 1px;
color: blue;
content: "\2713"; /* check mark */
}
As mentioned in this post, the zoom property seems not to work on Firefox, and transforms may cause undesired effects.
Tested on Chrome and Firefox, should work for all modern browsers. Just change the properties (colors, size, bottom, left, etc.) to your needs. Hope it helps!
This should work
input {
width: 25px;
height: 25px;
}
It worked for me for Firefox and Chrome and iPhone's Firefox, Chrome and Safari at least.
I was looking to make a checkbox that was just a little bit larger and looked at the source code for 37Signals Basecamp to find the following solution-
You can change the font size to make the checkbox slightly larger:
font-size: x-large;
Then, you can align the checkbox properly by doing:
vertical-align: top;
margin-top: 3px; /* change to center it */
You can make checkboxes larger in Safari — which is generally resistant to the usual approaches — with this attribute: -webkit-transform: scale(1.3, 1.3);

My reputation is slightly too low to post comments, but I made a modification to Jack Miller's code above in order to get it to not change size when you check and uncheck it. This was causing text alignment problems for me.
input[type=checkbox] {
width: 17px;
-webkit-appearance: none;
-moz-appearance: none;
height: 17px;
border: 1px solid black;
}
input[type=checkbox]:checked {
background-color: #F58027;
}
input[type=checkbox]:checked:after {
margin-left: 4px;
margin-top: -1px;
width: 4px;
height: 12px;
border: solid white;
border-width: 0 2px 2px 0;
-webkit-transform: rotate(45deg);
-moz-transform: rotate(45deg);
-ms-transform: rotate(45deg);
transform: rotate(45deg);
content: "";
display: inline-block;
}
input[type=checkbox]:after {
margin-left: 4px;
margin-top: -1px;
width: 4px;
height: 12px;
border: solid white;
border-width: 0;
-webkit-transform: rotate(45deg);
-moz-transform: rotate(45deg);
-ms-transform: rotate(45deg);
transform: rotate(45deg);
content: "";
display: inline-block;
}
<label><input type="checkbox"> Test</label>
My understanding is that this isn't easy at all to do cross-browser. Instead of trying to manipulate the checkbox control, you could always build your own implementation using images, javascript, and hidden input fields. I'm assuming this is similar to what niceforms is (from Staicu lonut's answer above), but wouldn't be particularly difficult to implement. I believe jQuery has a plugin to allow for this custom behavior as well (will look for the link and post here if I can find it).
I found this CSS-only library to be very helpful:
https://lokesh-coder.github.io/pretty-checkbox/
Or, you could roll your own with this same basic concept, similar to what #Sharcoux posted. It's basically:
Hide the normal checkbox (opacity 0 and placed where it would go)
Add a css-based fake checkbox
Use input:checked~div label for the checked style
make sure your <label> is clickable using for=yourinputID
.pretty {
position: relative;
margin: 1em;
}
.pretty input {
position: absolute;
left: 0;
top: 0;
min-width: 1em;
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
z-index: 2;
opacity: 0;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
cursor: pointer;
}
.pretty-inner {
box-sizing: border-box;
position: relative;
}
.pretty-inner label {
position: initial;
display: inline-block;
font-weight: 400;
margin: 0;
text-indent: 1.5em;
min-width: calc(1em + 2px);
}
.pretty-inner label:after,
.pretty-inner label:before {
content: '';
width: calc(1em + 2px);
height: calc(1em + 2px);
display: block;
box-sizing: border-box;
border-radius: 0;
border: 1px solid transparent;
z-index: 0;
position: absolute;
left: 0;
top: 0;
background-color: transparent;
}
.pretty-inner label:before {
border-color: #bdc3c7;
}
.pretty input:checked~.pretty-inner label:after {
background-color: #00bb82;
width: calc(1em - 6px);
height: calc(1em - 6px);
top: 4px;
left: 4px;
}
/* Add checkmark character style */
.pretty input:checked~.pretty-inner.checkmark:after {
content: '\2713';
color: #fff;
position: absolute;
font-size: 0.65em;
left: 6px;
top: 3px;
}
body {
font-size: 20px;
font-family: sans-serif;
}
<div class="pretty">
<input type="checkbox" id="demo" name="demo">
<div class="pretty-inner"><label for="demo">I agree.</label></div>
</div>
<div class="pretty">
<input type="checkbox" id="demo" name="demo">
<div class="pretty-inner checkmark"><label for="demo">Please check the box.</label></div>
</div>
use this css code
input[type=checkbox]
{
/* Double-sized Checkboxes */
-ms-transform: scale(1.5); /* IE */
-moz-transform: scale(1.5); /* FF */
-webkit-transform: scale(1.5); /* Safari and Chrome */
-o-transform: scale(1.5); /* Opera */
transform: scale(1.5);
padding: 10px;
}
The problem is Firefox doesn't listen to width and height. Disable that and your good to go.
input[type=checkbox] {
width: 25px;
height: 25px;
-moz-appearance: none;
}
<label><input type="checkbox"> Test</label>
The other answers showed a pixelated checkbox, while I wanted something beautiful.
The result looks like this:
Even though this version is more complicated I think it's worth giving it a try.
.checkbox-list__item {
position: relative;
padding: 10px 0;
display: block;
cursor: pointer;
margin: 0 0 0 34px;
border-bottom: 1px solid #b4bcc2;
}
.checkbox-list__item:last-of-type {
border-bottom: 0;
}
.checkbox-list__check {
width: 18px;
height: 18px;
border: 3px solid #b4bcc2;
position: absolute;
left: -34px;
top: 50%;
margin-top: -12px;
transition: border .3s ease;
border-radius: 5px;
}
.checkbox-list__check:before {
position: absolute;
display: block;
width: 18px;
height: 22px;
top: -2px;
left: 0px;
padding-left: 2px;
background-color: transparent;
transition: background-color .3s ease;
content: '\2713';
font-family: initial;
font-size: 19px;
color: white;
}
input[type="checkbox"]:checked ~ .checkbox-list__check {
border-color: #5bc0de;
}
input[type="checkbox"]:checked ~ .checkbox-list__check:before {
background-color: #5bc0de;
}
<label class="checkbox-list__item">
<input class="checkbox_buttons" type="checkbox" checked="checked" style="display: none;">
<div class="checkbox-list__check"></div>
</label>

You can change the height and width in the code below
.checkmark {
position: absolute;
top: 0;
left: 0;
height: 20px;
width: 20px;
border-radius:5px;
border:1px solid #ff7e02;
}
<div class="check">
<label class="container1">Architecture/Landscape
<input type="checkbox" checked="checked">
<span class="checkmark"></span>
</label>
</div>
Put the checkbox inside a parent with display:grid and make sure it doesn't have margin:auto
https://codepen.io/sneffel/pen/oNPYvBx
body{
text-align:center;
}
.grid{
display:grid;
}
input{
height:25px;
}
<div class="container grid">
<input type="checkbox" id="first">
</div>
<form class="container">
<input type="checkbox" id="second">
</form>
