How to create custom checkbox style in css?


Asked by Itzel Spence on Nov 30, 2021 CSS



CSS: Custom checkbox style with image. As everyone knows, it is impossible to style input checkbox in CSS. But there is very easy workaround for that, of course, without JavaScript. You must create input checkbox with id attribute and label with for attribute (for must point on input’s ID). You need two images for your new styled checkbox.
Keeping this in consideration,
HTML input-type checkboxes cannot be customized with any properties, so we have to get creative with how we customize the input element. What? How? Step 1: Hide the input element. Step 2: Add an extra span element and apply your custom style by creating a class. There are three ways to hide an HTML element.
In addition, Hide the checkboxes by setting the visibility property to its “hidden” value. Use the :checked pseudo-class, which helps to see when the checkbox is checked.
Just so,
Checkboxes and radio buttons are HTML elements used to capture user input. While styling is considered to be quite complicated, using pseudo elements such as :before, :after, :active, :hover and :checked, can help to style checkboxes. If you want to style the checkbox or the radio button, you first should hide the default style.
Likewise,
Since the label is the parent element, we don't currently have a way in CSS alone to style it based on the :disabled state. For a CSS-only solution, we need to create an add an extra class to the label when it is known that the checkbox is disabled. Since this state can't be changed by the user, this will generally be an acceptable additional step.
