SCSS / SASS Implementation

A more modern approach

For those using SCSS (or easily converted to SASS), the following will be helpful. Effectively, make an element next to the checkbox, which is the one that you will style. When the checkbox is clicked, the CSS restyles the sister element (to your new, checked style). Code is below:

label.checkbox { input[type="checkbox"] { visibility: hidden; display: block; height: 0; width: 0; position: absolute; overflow: hidden; &:checked + span { background: $accent; } } span { cursor: pointer; height: 15px; width: 15px; border: 1px solid $accent; border-radius: 2px; display: inline-block; transition: all 0.2s $interpol; } }

HTML structure:

label.checkbox { input[type="checkbox"] { visibility: hidden; display: block; height: 0; width: 0; position: absolute; overflow: hidden; &:checked + span { background: $accent; } } span { cursor: pointer; height: 15px; width: 15px; border: 1px solid $accent; border-radius: 2px; display: inline-block; transition: all 0.2s $interpol; } }
<label class="checkbox"> <input type="checkbox" /> <span></span> Label text </label>
<label class="checkbox"> <input type="checkbox" /> <span></span> Label text </label>
