Trigger CSS animation with checkbox inside a fieldset - html

Question

I try to trigger an animation only when a checkbox is checked.
I have the following code :
<div data-role="fieldcontain" >
<fieldset data-role="controlgroup" data-type="horizontal">
<input type="checkbox" class="mediaCheckbox" id="playCheck"/>
<label data-role="button" class="fa fa-play" id="play" for="playCheck"></label>
<input type="checkbox" class="mediaCheckbox" id="muteCheck"/>
<label data-role="button" class="fa fa-bell" id="mute" for="muteCheck"></label>
</fieldset>
</div>
<div id="stuffToAnimate"></div>
and the following CSS :
#stuffToAnimate {
position: relative;
-webkit-animation: ball 11s ease-in-out 0s infinite normal; /* Chrome, Safari, Opera */
-webkit-animation-play-state: paused;
}
#playCheck:checked **XXX**{
-webkit-animation-play-state: running;
}
#-webkit-keyframes ball {
0% {top:5%;}
40% {-webkit-transform: rotate(0deg);}
50% {-webkit-transform: rotate(180deg);top:80%;}
90% {-webkit-transform: rotate(180deg);}
100% {-webkit-transform: rotate(360deg);top:5%;}
}
My problem is: How to complete the **XXX** selector in order to trigger the animation. I could put the checkbox #playCheck in the same level as #stuffToAnimate, but it would mess up my presentation.

Answer 1

you could use jquery to give #stuffToAnimate a class
$('#playCheck:checkbox').click(function() {
if ($(this).is(":checked"))
{
$("#stuffToAnimate").addClass("animate");
}
else {
$("#stuffToAnimate").removeClass("animate");
}
});
your css will look like this
.animate{
-webkit-animation-play-state: running;
}
