<h1>iOS 6 style switches with pure CSS</h1>
<label>Something <input type="checkbox" class="ios-switch" /></label>
<label>Pre-checked<input type="checkbox" class="ios-switch" checked /></label>
<label><input type="checkbox" class="ios-switch" />Label after control</label>
<label><input type="checkbox" class="ios-switch" checked />Another label after control</label>
<p>Check out the slide animation, even in WebKit versions that don’t support animation for pseudo-elements.
Verified to work in <strong>Chrome, Firefox, IE10</strong>, but could possibly work in many others.</p>
<ul>
<li>Keyboard accessible</li>
<li>No images</li>
<li>No JS (except a tiny bit to add a div per checkbox, but you can do that manually</li>
<li>Only one extra element per switch</li>
<li>Standards compliant: Does not depend on any proprietary stuff</li>
<li>Degrades gracefully</li>
<li>Easy to scale by just changing its font-size</li>
</ul>
// JS is only used to add the <div>s
var switches = document.querySelectorAll('input[type="checkbox"].ios-switch');
for (var i=0, sw; sw = switches[i++]; ) {
var div = document.createElement('div');
div.className = 'switch';
sw.parentNode.insertBefore(div, sw.nextSibling);
