Custom Checkbox/Radio
This lesson is part of How To · All levels
Summary
Custom checkboxes and radios replace the display of the browser's built-in box or circle with its own design. The original input is kept so that the accessibility and behavior of the form is not lost, and then the visual indicator is made separate. Pseudo-class:checked is used to display a check mark or point when an option is selected.
Key points
- The original input should stay and be focused, not completely deleted.
- The label packs the input and custom indicators so that the entire area can be clicked.
- Pseudo-class:checked changing the indicator style when the option is selected.
- Radio in a group uses the same name attribute.
- Provide a focus-visible and shape differentiator, not just a color.
