How to use images like checkboxes with CSS?
To use images like checkboxes with CSS, we can add a label and an input and style them.
For instance, we write
<input type="checkbox" id="myCheckbox1" />
<label for="myCheckbox1"><img src="https://picsum.photos/200/200" /></label>
to add a checkbox with a label that has an img element in it.
Then we set the background image of the label with CSS by writing
label::before {
background-image: url(../path/to/unchecked.png);
}
:checked + label::before {
background-image: url(../path/to/checked.png);
}
We set the background image to replace the checkbox with the image with
label::before {
background-image: url(../path/to/unchecked.png);
}
And the we set the image that shows when the checkbox is checked instead of the checkbox with
:checked + label::before {
background-image: url(../path/to/checked.png);
}
