Fancy checkbox using CSS only. By John Folley on April 18 2013. Form elements have always been difficult to style up as we want. However thanks to the sibling selector and the checkbox trick, at least the checkbox element is easy to 'style'. This works, however there are a few issues with this: javascript is required and while most users will have javscript enabled, there's an overhead in the added javascript required.

However thanks to the sibling selector and the checkbox trick, at least the checkbox element is easy to 'style'. Also, javscript processing and events is quite costly.
