Make Your Checkbox Elements Stylish With the Right CSS Properties

With so many ways to code checkbox elements using Cascading Style Sheet language, which should you use? CSS is the more familiar and more intuitive way to design and style these elements, which are essential for projects where there needs to be some level of interaction. Think about online forms, simple digital flyers, and coupons that require "yes or no" confirmation actions.

Everyone is familiar with the traditional squares that most checkbox elements are made with, but CSS lets you break out of this mold in order to make more engaging interactions. Your first style intention should be to make checkbox elements more precise by giving style attributes that provide context. Naturally, you want an adequate level of responsiveness, and this is another advantage you can find in CSS.

Let's say your checkbox idea approximates the look of an item in a to-do list; in this case, you will want to hover the text before applying a strike-through property so that a sense of completion is conveyed. A more refined strike-through would be adding a space between the name and the content when a checkbox is checked. When the user clicks the checkbox, the box is removed from the list. Do not use the underline effect on an element that will be displayed (i.e., a selection element) when the checkbox is clicked because it would make it look like a page link.

The custom toggle switch style can be used whenever the checkbox element is intended to get the attention of tech-savvy visitors. The beauty of styling checkbox elements in this fashion is that they often prompt visitors to read over the context more carefully; this happens because toggle switches are considered to be more serious and binding even though they accomplish the same. With CSS3, you have nine styles to adorn your checkbox elements:

• Four squared designs
• Two rounded elements
• Three slider elements

If you want to apply bold and chunky attributes to checkbox actions, feel free to do so. UI designers often recommend using a combination of attributes in order to achieve the intended effect whenever there are good reasons for doing so.
