Checkbox Hack

/* Checkbox Hack */

   text-align: center;

input[type=checkbox]:checked ~ div {

<label for="toggle-1">I'm a toggle</label>
<input type="checkbox" id="toggle-1">
<div>I'm controlled by toggle. No JavaScript!</div>

There is a problem with the css. If you have more than one div, the first checkbox will toggle all subsequent divs. So change the css to use + instead of ~

input[type=checkbox]:checked + div {
    background: red;
}

Hi there,

Was just having a look at this.

Is there a way to have any of the buttons toggle all of the divs?

So just like one button toggles the two divs when you're using ~, is there a way to select by button class so that any button controls all divs? Is something like that possible??

Thanks,
Enrik

Hi @enrikpavdeja!

If you add a new label & input:

<label for="toggle-all">I toggle all</label>
<input type="checkbox" id="toggle-all">

then modify the toggled state definition:

/* Toggled State */
input[type=checkbox]:checked + div, #toggle-all:checked ~ div {
   background: red;
}
