<p>There isn't anything special happening here. We just contain all our <code>labels</code> and <code>inputs</code> into a <code>.radio-toggles</code> wrapper, make sure those <code>labels</code> are each properly connected to their corresponding <code>inputs</code>, and then add an empty <code>.slide-item</code> element (more on that later).</p>

## The CSS
Now for the main event – the CSS. First we want to style the wrapper that holds all of our pieces together. You can tweak this to your liking, but I prefer a simple and clean style:
-
- .radio-toggles {
- align-items: center;
- background: #eee;
- border: 1px solid lightgrey;
- border-radius: 9999px;
- display: flex;
- justify-content: center;
- margin: 20px auto;
- max-width: 400px;
- overflow: hidden;
- padding: 4px;
- position: relative;
- }
-
+~~~css
+.radio-toggles {
+ align-items: center;
+ background: #eee;
+ border: 1px solid lightgrey;
+ border-radius: 9999px;
+ display: flex;
+ justify-content: center;
+ margin: 20px auto;
+ max-width: 400px;
+ overflow: hidden;
+ padding: 4px;
+ position: relative;
+}
+~~~
Next, we “hide” (only visually) the default `radio` inputs:
-
- input[type="radio"] {
- left: -9999px;
- position: absolute;
- z-index: -1;
- }
-
+~~~css
+input[type="radio"] {
+ left: -9999px;
+ position: absolute;
+ z-index: -1;
+}
+~~~
Then we give the corresponding `label` elements a little spacing and breathing room:
-
- label {
- cursor: pointer;
- padding: 10px 20px;
- text-align: center;
- width: 33.33%;
- z-index: 2;
- }
-
+~~~css
+label {
+ cursor: pointer;
+ padding: 10px 20px;
+ text-align: center;
+ width: 33.33%;
+ z-index: 2;
+}
+~~~
Remember that `.slide-item` I referenced earlier? That element will be the visual “slider” that animates between the individual radio options. We style that like so:
-
- .slide-item {
- background: white;
- border-radius: 9999px;
- box-shadow: 0 2px 4px rgba(0,0,0,0.15);
- height: calc(100% - 8px);
- left: calc(33.33% + 4px);
- position: absolute;
- width: calc(33.33% - 8px);
- transition: left .4s;
- z-index: 0;
- }
-
+~~~sh
+.slide-item {
+ background: white;
+ border-radius: 9999px;
+ box-shadow: 0 2px 4px rgba(0,0,0,0.15);
+ height: calc(100% - 8px);
+ left: calc(33.33% + 4px);
+ position: absolute;
+ width: calc(33.33% - 8px);
+ transition: left .4s;
+ z-index: 0;
+}
+~~~
You'll notice the `left`, `height`, and `width` properties utilize the CSS `calc` attributes – this just gives some much needed padding and visual clean-up to the whole tabbed interface.
For the finishing touches, we just need to tell the `.slide-item` where to position itself based on which `radio` input is currently selected:
-
- input[type="radio"]:nth-of-type(1):checked ~ .slide-item {
- left: 4px;
- }
- input[type="radio"]:nth-of-type(3):checked ~ .slide-item {
- left: calc(66.66% + 4px);
- }
-
+~~~css
+input[type="radio"]:nth-of-type(1):checked ~ .slide-item {
+ left: 4px;
+}
+input[type="radio"]:nth-of-type(3):checked ~ .slide-item {
+ left: calc(66.66% + 4px);
+}
+~~~
That's pretty much it! You now have a fully functional, animated toggle slider with just a set of simple `radio` inputs and pure CSS.
