I am trying to build a custom checkbox. But I have an html layout like
<label class="container">One
<div class="check">
<input type="checkbox">
</div>
<div class="checkmark">
</div>
</label>
Here I am trying to hide input and design .checkmark as my new custom checkbox but since they are in diffrent div's I think I can't select them. I should do it in this HTML structure. If you can help me to handle it in this html structure I would be very glad. Thanks.
<html>
<style>
/* The container */
.container {
display: block;
position: relative;
padding-left: 35px;
margin-bottom: 12px;
cursor: pointer;
font-size: 22px;
-webkit-user-select: none;
-moz-user-select: none;
-ms-user-select: none;
user-select: none;
}
/* Hide the browser's default checkbox */
.container input {
display: none;
}
/* Create a custom checkbox */
.checkmark {
position: absolute;
top: 0;
left: 0;
height: 25px;
width: 25px;
background-color: #eee;
}
/* On mouse-over, add a grey background color */
.container:hover input ~ .checkmark {
background-color: #ccc;
}
/* When the checkbox is checked, add a blue background */
.container input:checked ~ .checkmark {
background-color: #2196F3;
}
/* Create the checkmark/indicator (hidden when not checked) */
.checkmark:after {
content: "";
position: absolute;
display: none;
}
/* Show the checkmark when checked */
.container input:checked ~ .container.checkmark:after {
display: block;
}
.a input:checked ~ .container.checkmark:after {
display: block;
}
/* Style the checkmark/indicator */
.container .checkmark:after {
left: 9px;
top: 5px;
width: 5px;
height: 10px;
border: solid white;
border-width: 0 3px 3px 0;
-webkit-transform: rotate(45deg);
-ms-transform: rotate(45deg);
transform: rotate(45deg);
}
</style>
<body>
<label class="container">Checkbox
<div class="check">
<input type="checkbox">

Add the div with class checkmark inside the div with class check. Adjacent to checkbox
/* The container */
.container {
display: block;
position: relative;
padding-left: 35px;
margin-bottom: 12px;
cursor: pointer;
font-size: 22px;
-webkit-user-select: none;
-moz-user-select: none;
-ms-user-select: none;
user-select: none;
}
/* Hide the browser's default checkbox */
.container input {
display: none;
}
/* Create a custom checkbox */
.checkmark {
position: absolute;
top: 0;
left: 0;
height: 25px;
width: 25px;
background-color: #eee;
}
/* On mouse-over, add a grey background color */
.container:hover input~.checkmark {
background-color: #ccc;
}
/* When the checkbox is checked, add a blue background */
.container input:checked~.checkmark {
background-color: #2196F3;
}
/* Create the checkmark/indicator (hidden when not checked) */
.checkmark:after {
content: "";
position: absolute;
display: none;
}
/* Show the checkmark when checked */
.container input:checked~.container.checkmark:after {
display: block;
}
.a input:checked~.container.checkmark:after {
display: block;
}
/* Style the checkmark/indicator */
.container .checkmark:after {
left: 9px;
top: 5px;
width: 5px;
height: 10px;
border: solid white;
border-width: 0 3px 3px 0;
-webkit-transform: rotate(45deg);
-ms-transform: rotate(45deg);
transform: rotate(45deg);
}<label class="container">Checkbox
<div class="check">
<input type="checkbox">
<div class="checkmark">
</div>
</div>
</label>Here is a working solution without modifying the HTML structure.
Using the ::before pseudo-element we can manipulate its behavior depending on the checkbox is checked or not.
/* Custom checkbox */
input[type="checkbox"] {
appearance:none;
display:block!important;
position:relative;
}
input[type="checkbox"]::before {
content: '';
position: absolute;
top: 0;
left: 0;
height: 25px;
width: 25px;
background-color: #eee;
cursor:pointer;
}
.check {
position: absolute;
left: 0;
top: 0;
}
input[type="checkbox"]:hover::before {
background-color: silver;
}
input[type="checkbox"]:checked::before {
background-color: #2196F3!important;
}
/* The container */
.container {
display: block;
position: relative;
padding-left: 35px;
margin-bottom: 12px;
cursor: pointer;
font-size: 22px;
-webkit-user-select: none;
-moz-user-select: none;
-ms-user-select: none;
user-select: none;
}<label class="container">Checkbox
<div class="check">
<input type="checkbox">
</div>
<div class="checkmark">
</div>
</label>
