Style Html CheckBoxes with css.

Websites have checkboxes in forms to get the choice of users. The defines a checkbox. The checkbox is shown as a square box that is ticked (checked) when activated(checked). Checkboxes are used to let a user select one or more options of a limited number of choices. Tip: Always add the tag for best accessibility practices! Can you style it with css? You can change width and height only. How can we add more styles to checkbox? Solution I have wasted many hours with this question. I found one solution. 💡 - Hide checkbox, make a dummy and pass events to hidden checkbox. Bad, You should create extra elements(3 or 2). And you can't use inline styles if you are using 2 extra elements. 💡 - remove default styles. Use appearence property to remove default styles. 95%+ browsers supported. In unsupported browsers checkbox has same with and height without other styles. So, It's a fallback. But, It has no action when checked. 💡 - Background color change(like Sourceforge) 💡 - Change border to ✓ mark(like materialize.css default) 💡 - ✓ mark as Background Image(like Bootstrap 5) 💡 - Use unicode ✓ mark(need javascript) See https://moonhare.hashnode.dev/style-html-checkboxes-with-css for more...
