While creating modern UI for checkbox or radio buttons, we usually convert them as a toggle or slide switch button using Javascript, so in this article, I have mentioned code example to create Javascript toggle button with HTML / CSS.
HTML and Javascript code would be as below
<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript">
function toggle(checkbox)
{
if (checkbox.checked) {
// do this
console.log('Checked');
} else {
// do that
console.log('Not checked');
}
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<label class="switch">
<input type="checkbox" onclick="toggle(this);">
<div class="slider"></div>
</label>
</body>
</html>
and CSS as below
.switch {
position: relative;
display: inline-block;
width: 60px;
height: 34px;
}
.switch input {display:none;}
.slider {
position: absolute;
cursor: pointer;
top: 0;
left: 0;
right: 0;
bottom: 0;
background-color: #ccc;
-webkit-transition: .4s;
transition: .4s;
}
.slider:before {
position: absolute;
content: "";
height: 26px;
width: 26px;
left: 4px;
bottom: 4px;
background-color: white;
-webkit-transition: .4s;
transition: .4s;
}
input:checked + .slider {
background-color: #2196F3;
}
input:focus + .slider {
box-shadow: 0 0 1px #2196F3;
}
input:checked + .slider:before {
-webkit-transform: translateX(26px);
-ms-transform: translateX(26px);
transform: translateX(26px);
}
In CSS, we are hiding checkbox input inside .switch and adding slider toggle button, which will be visible, once slider is clicked, we are using CSS transform property for animation and changing background-color.
You will have output as below:
