[html] CSS - How to Style a Selected Radio Buttons Label?

I want to add a style to a radio button's selected label:

HTML:

<div class="radio-toolbar">
 <label><input type="radio" value="all" checked>All</label>
 <label><input type="radio" value="false">Open</label>
 <label><input type="radio" value="true">Archived</label>
</div>

CSS

.radio-toolbar input[type="radio"] {display:none;}
.radio-toolbar label {
    background:Red;
    border:1px solid green;
    padding:2px 10px;
}
.radio-toolbar label + input[type="radio"]:checked { 
    background:pink !important;
}

Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?

As there is currently no CSS solution to style a parent, I use a simple jQuery one here to add a class to a label with checked input inside it.

$(document).on("change","input", function(){
 $("label").removeClass("checkedlabel");
 if($(this).is(":checked")) $(this).closest("label").addClass("checkedlabel");
});

Don't forget to give the pre-checked input's label the class checkedlabel too

Here's an accessible solution

label {_x000D_
  position: relative;_x000D_
}_x000D_
_x000D_
label input {_x000D_
  position: absolute;_x000D_
  opacity: 0;_x000D_
}_x000D_
_x000D_
label:focus-within {_x000D_
  outline: 1px solid orange;_x000D_
}

<div class="radio-toolbar">_x000D_
  <label><input type="radio" value="all" checked>All</label>_x000D_
  <label><input type="radio" value="false">Open</label>_x000D_
  <label><input type="radio" value="true">Archived</label>_x000D_
</div>

If you really want to put the checkboxes inside the label, try adding an extra span tag, eg.

HTML

<div class="radio-toolbar">
 <label><input type="radio" value="all" checked><span>All</span></label>
 <label><input type="radio" value="false"><span>Open</span></label>
 <label><input type="radio" value="true"><span>Archived</span></label>
</div>

CSS

.radio-toolbar input[type="radio"]:checked ~ * { 
    background:pink !important;
}

That will set the backgrounds for all siblings of the selected radio button.

You are using an adjacent sibling selector (+) when the elements are not siblings. The label is the parent of the input, not it's sibling.

CSS has no way to select an element based on it's descendents (nor anything that follows it).

You'll need to look to JavaScript to solve this.

Alternatively, rearrange your markup:

<input id="foo"><label for="foo">…</label>

You can add a span to your html and css .

Here's an example from my code ...

HTML ( JSX ):

<input type="radio" name="AMPM" id="radiostyle1" value="AM" checked={this.state.AMPM==="AM"} onChange={this.handleChange}/>  
<label for="radiostyle1"><span></span> am  </label>

<input type="radio" name="AMPM" id="radiostyle2" value="PM" checked={this.state.AMPM==="PM"} onChange={this.handleChange}/>
<label for="radiostyle2"><span></span> pm  </label>

CSS to make standard radio button vanish on screen and superimpose custom button image:

input[type="radio"] {  
    opacity:0;                                      
}

input[type="radio"] + label {
    font-size:1em;
    text-transform: uppercase;
    color: white ;  
    cursor: pointer;
    margin:auto 15px auto auto;                    
}

input[type="radio"] + label span {
    display:inline-block;
    width:30px;
    height:10px;
    margin:1px 0px 0 -30px;                       
    cursor:pointer;
    border-radius: 20%;
}


input[type="radio"] + label span {
    background-color: #FFFFFF 
}


input[type="radio"]:checked + label span{
     background-color: #660006;  
}
