Stylish CSS Switch Buttons
These are some stylish CSS only switch buttons, made based on this Adobe Illustrator tutorial, a simplified version of course.
The on/off states are made using a hidden checkbox and an absolutely positioned label above the button with the help of the :checked
and ~
(sibling) selectors. Therefor it is not working in IE < 9.
Animation is done with CSS3 transform
by animating the top
position of the switch handle elements.
Every size is specified in ems, so the button is easily scalable by changing the font-size on the .switch
css class or any parent elements.
