I would like to show checkbox as toggle button. But I can't apply my custom pictures to it with CCS -- still checkbox is drawn. How to accomlish this task?
My CSS:
input[type=checkbox]#settingsbutton {
border-style: none;
background-color: transparent;
width: 42px;
height: 40px;
display: block;
}
input[type=checkbox].button-settings {
background-image: url("images/button-settings-normal.png");
}
input[type=checkbox].button-settings:active {
background-image: url("images/button-settings-normal.png");
}
input[type=checkbox].button-settings:hover {
background-image: url("images/button-settings-hover.png");
}
input[type=checkbox].button-settings:active {
background-image: url("images/button-settings-pressed.png");
}
My HTML:
<body>
<input type="checkbox" id="settingsbutton" class="button-settings"/>
</body>
If you want it's with pure css solution then you have to add label in your markup . It's a trick & write lke this:
input[type=checkbox]{
display:none;
}
input[type=checkbox] + label{
height: 40px;
width: 42px;
}
body:not(#foo) input[type=checkbox]:checked + label{
background-image: url("images/button-settings-normal.png");
}
body:not(#foo) input[type=checkbox] + label{
background-position:0 -46px; /* as per your requirement*/
height: 40px;
}
HTML
<body>
<input type="checkbox" id="settingsbutton" class="button-settings"/>
<label for="settingsbutton"></label>
</body>

But it's not work in IE8 & below
See this link for styling check-boxes: http://ryanfait.com/resources/custom-checkboxes-and-radio-buttons/
The solution involves hiding the check-box and adding a styled element in place of it, which emulates the check-box's behavior.
Try this solution if you have some text in label
input[type=checkbox]{
display:none;
}
input[type=checkbox] + label:before{
height: 42px;
width: 42px;
content: url("../img/chk.jpg");
}
body input[type=checkbox]:checked + label:before{
content: url("../img/chk_checked.jpg");
}
