Nowadays it's more common to find fully customized form elements that enhance the user experience. In this article we will see how to turn a typical checkbox into a switch that is much more modern and visually appealing.   Let's see an example of how this switch would be used in the typical options in a user area: span.question { display: inline-block; vertical-align: middle; margin-right: 10px; font-weight: bold; } .switch { position: relative; display: inline-block; width: 60px; height: 34px; vertical-align: middle; } .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: #E27AD8; } input:checked + .slider:before { -webkit-transform: translateX(26px); -ms-transform: translateX(26px); transform: translateX(26px); } .slider.round { border-radius: 34px; } .slider.round:before { border-radius: 50%; }       Publish my email address       Receive newsletter       Receive email notifications   First we need to define the html. We are going to use the labels and input tags of a typical checkbox and an extra div that will serve to do the trick with css. HTML <label class="switch">   <input type="checkbox">   <div class="slider round"></div> </label>   Now let's go with the css: CSS /* Format the label that will serve as container */ .switch { position: relative; display: inline-block; width: 60px; height: 34px; } /* Hide the html checkbox */ .switch input { display:none; } /* Format the switch box on which the control knob or slider will slide */ .slider { position: absolute; cursor: pointer; top: 0; left: 0; right: 0; bottom: 0; background-color: #ccc; -webkit-transition: .4s; transition: .4s; } /* Depict the control knob or slider using the pseudo-selector before */ .slider:before { position: absolute; content: ""; height: 26px; width: 26px; left: 4px; bottom: 4px; background-color: white; -webkit-transition: .4s; transition: .4s; } /* We change the background color when the checkbox is activated */ input:checked + .slider { background-color: #E27AD8; } /* We slide the slider to the right when the checkbox is activated */ input:checked + .slider:before { -webkit-transform: translateX(26px); -ms-transform: translateX(26px); transform: translateX(26px); } /* We apply a rounded edge effect to the slider and to the bottom of the slide */ .slider.round { border-radius: 34px; } .slider.round:before { border-radius: 50%; } That's all folks! Now we know how to create a toggle switch or switch with css. Easy, fast and for the whole family! Main photo: Pierre Chatel
