Let’s walk through how to create custom radio buttons with <em>pure CSS</em>, while still preserving performance and accessibility.</p> -<h2 id="the-final-product">The Final Product</h2> -<p>This is what we will be designing:</p> -<p><img src="/public/images/custom-radio-inputs.png" alt="Custom radio inputs" /></p> -<p><a href="https://codepen.io/bradleytaunt/pen/oNjwMyX">Live CodePen Example</a></p> -<hr/> -<h2 id="the-bones-of-our-radio-inputs-html">The bones of our radio inputs (HTML)</h2> -<pre><code><input class="radio-btn" name="radio-collection" id="radio-1" type="radio"> -<label class="radio-label" for="radio-1"><span>I am very satisfied</span></label> - -<input class="radio-btn" name="radio-collection" id="radio-2" type="radio"> -<label class="radio-label" for="radio-2"><span>I am satisfied</span></label> - -<input class="radio-btn" name="radio-collection" id="radio-3" type="radio"> -<label class="radio-label" for="radio-3"><span>I am indifferent</span></label> - -<input class="radio-btn" name="radio-collection" id="radio-4" type="radio"> -<label class="radio-label" for="radio-4"><span>I am unsatisfied</span></label> - -<input class="radio-btn" name="radio-collection" id="radio-5" type="radio"> -<label class="radio-label" for="radio-5"><span>I am very unsatisfied</span></label> -</code></pre> -<p>I know it looks like a lot is going on here, but it’s pretty straightforward so let’s unpackage line by line:</p> -<h3 id="radio-inputs">Radio inputs</h3> -<pre><code><input class="radio-btn" name="radio-collection" id="radio-1" type="radio"> -</code></pre> -<p>This is the default <code>radio</code> input. We give it:</p> -<ul> -<li>a <code>name</code> (inputs with a shared <code>name</code> are grouped together)</li> -<li>an <code>id</code> (so our label can target this input)</li> -<li>a <code>class</code> (so we can style it later)</li> -</ul> -<p><strong>Important</strong>: be sure to have a unique <code>id</code> for each input so your labels don’t end up connected to multiple radios. In this demo we are simply incrementing them by one.</p> -<h3 id="labels">Labels</h3> -<p>Adding the labels is fairly straightforward, we just include the corresponding input’s <code>id</code> in the label’s <code>for</code> attribute. The label content is wrapped in a <code>span</code> - which I will explain the reasoning for later.</p> -<p>For styling purposes we also add the <code>radio-label</code> class.</p> -<pre><code><label class="radio-label" for="radio-1"><span>I am very satisfied</span></label> -</code></pre> -<p>This is looking pretty terrible - but that’s nothing some good ol’ CSS can’t fix!</p> -<h2 id="the-flesh-of-our-radio-inputs-css">The flesh of our radio inputs (CSS)</h2> -<p>First we give some basic styling to our <code>label</code> and <code>input</code> classes (along with hover states). The <code>radio</code> element is actually hidden from view, but by using the <code>visibility</code> attribute we still keep it accessible for screen-readers.</p> -<pre><code>.radio-label { - background: white; - border: 1px solid #eee; - border-radius: 5px; - box-shadow: 0 2px 4px rgba(0,0,0,0.05); - cursor: pointer; - display: inline-block; - font-weight: 600; - margin: 0 auto 10px; - /* This 65px padding makes room for the custom input */ - padding: 20px 20px 20px 65px; - position: relative; - transition: .3s ease all; - width: 100%; -} -.radio-label:hover { - box-shadow: 0 4px 8px rgba(0,0,0,0.05); -} -.radio-btn { - position: absolute; - visibility: hidden; -} -</code></pre> -<p>Remember that <code>span</code> element inside the label? We set it’s <code>user-select</code> property to <code>none</code> so we avoid any possible issue with the user selecting the text on-click:</p> -<pre><code>.radio-label span { - -webkit-user-select: none; - -moz-user-select: none; - user-select: none; -} -</code></pre> -<p>Next we include the default empty selection element (to mimic the original radio input) via a pseudo element:</p> -<pre><code>.radio-label:before { - background: #eee; - border-radius: 50%; - content:''; - height: 30px; - left: 20px; - position: absolute; - /* Half the height of it's parent minus half of it's own height */ - top: calc(50% - 15px); - transition: .3s ease background-color; - width: 30px; -} -</code></pre> -<h2 id="a-few-final-steps">A Few Final Steps</h2> -<p>The final step is adding the custom styling for when an <code>input</code> item is selected (<code>:checked</code>).</p> -<p>You will notice the use of a <code>base64</code> element for the custom checkmark - feel free to subsitute this for an actual image or none at all (this is just my personal design preference).</p> -<pre><code>.radio-btn:checked + .radio-label { - background: #ECF5FF;
