if you want your check box to keep its height and width but only be invisible:

.hiddenCheckBox{
    visibility: hidden;
}

if you want your check box to be invisible without any with and height:

.hiddenCheckBox{
    display: none;
}

This two classes are borrowed from the HTML Boilerplate main css  Although the invisible checkbox will be focused and not the label         Hide only visually  but have it available for screenreaders  h5bp com v       visuallyhidden       border  0      clip  rect 0 0 0 0       height  1px      margin  -1px      overflow  hidden      padding  0      position  absolute      width  1px           Extends the  visuallyhidden class to allow the element to be focusable    when navigated to via the keyboard  h5bp com p       visuallyhidden focusable active   visuallyhidden focusable focus       clip  auto      height  auto      margin  0      overflow  visible      position  static      width  auto

You need to add the element type to the class  otherwise it will not work    x000D   x000D   hide-checkbox   display  none             This will not work     x000D  input hide-checkbox   display  none        But this will      x000D   lt input class  hide-checkbox  id  checkbox    gt  x000D   lt label for  checkbox  gt Checkbox lt  label gt  x000D   x000D   x000D    It looks too simple  but try it out

Try setting the checkbox s opacity to 0  If you want the checkbox to be out of flow try position absolute and offset the checkbox by a large number   HTML   lt label class  checkbox  gt  lt input type  checkbox  value  valueofcheckbox  checked  checked  style  opacity 0  position absolute  left 9999px   gt Option Text lt  label gt

Elements that are not being rendered  be it through visibility  hidden  display  none  opacity  0 0  whatever  will not indicate focus   The browser will not draw a focus border around nothing   If you want the text to be focusable  that s completely doable   You can wrap the whole thing in an element that can receive focus  for example  a hyperlink   or allow another tag to have focus using the tabindex property    lt label tabindex  0  class  checkbox  gt     lt input type  checkbox  value  valueofcheckbox  style  display none  checked  checked    gt Option Text  lt  label gt    Fiddle  In this case  the  lt label gt  tag above is actually receiving focus and everything within it will have a focus border when it s in focus   I do question what your goal is   If you re using a hidden checkbox to internally track some sort of state  you might be better off using a  lt input type  hidden    gt  tag instead
