Set Checkbox Size in HTML & CSS
To set checkbox size in HTML/CSS, we will be using simple CSS properties. We will be understanding three different approaches to set checkbox size in HTML/CSS.
In this article, we are having two checkboxes each having a label. Our task is to set checkbox size in HTML/CSS.
Approaches to Set Checkbox Size in HTML/CSS
Here is a list of approaches to set checkbox size in HTML/CSS which we will be discussing in this article with stepwise explaination and complete example codes.
- Setting Checkbox Size using height and width Properties
- Setting Checkbox Size using transform Property
- Setting Checkbox Size using zoom Property
Setting Checkbox Size using height and width Properties
To set checkbox size in HTML/CSS, we will be using simple CSS height and width properties to set the dimension of checkbox.
- We have created two checkboxes with input tag using type attribute as checkbox and used two labels to name the checkboxes.
- Then, we have used "input[type=checkbox]" which selects the checkboxes in our HTML document.
- We have used height and width properties to set checkbox dimension with height and width as 30px.
Example
Here is a complete example code implementing above mentioned steps to set checkbox size in HTML/CSS using CSS height and width property.
<!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <style> input[type=checkbox] { width: 30px; height: 30px; } </style> </head> <body> <h3> To Set Checkbox Size in HTML/CSS </h3> <p> In this example we have used CSS <strong> height</strong> and <strong>width</strong> property to set checkbox size in HTML/CSS. </p> <input type="checkbox" id="checkbox-1" name="checkbox-1" value="1"> <label for="checkbox-1">Option 1</label> <input type="checkbox" id="checkbox-2" name="checkbox-2" value="2"> <label for="checkbox-2">Option 2</label> </body> </html>
Setting Checkbox Size using transform Property
In this approach to set checkbox size in HTML/CSS, we will be using scale function of transform property. CSS scale() function resizes an element on two-dimensional plane.
- First two steps are same as approach one to create and select the checkboxes.
- Then, we have used "transform: scale(3);" property which scales checkbox size by three times.
Example
Here is a complete example code implementing above mentioned steps to set checkbox size in HTML/CSS using CSS transform property.
<!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <title> Set the size of checkbox </title> <style> input[type="checkbox"] { transform: scale(3); margin: 15px; } </style> </head> <body> <h3> To Set Checkbox Size in HTML/CSS </h3> <p> In this example we have used CSS <strong> transform</strong> property to set checkbox size in HTML/CSS. </p> <input type="checkbox" id="option1"> <label for="option1">Option 1</label> <br><br> <input type="checkbox" id="option2"> <label for="option2">Option 2</label> </body> </html>
Setting Checkbox Size using zoom Property
In this approach we have used CSS zoom property to set checkbox size in HTML/CSS. CSS zoom property is similar to scale function of transform property. It is non standard and scale() function can be used in place of zoom property.
- First two steps are same as approach one to create and select the checkboxes.
- Then, we have used "zoom: 3;" property which scales checkbox size by three times.
Example
Here is a complete example code implementing above mentioned steps to set checkbox size in HTML/CSS using CSS zoom property.
<!DOCTYPE html> <html lang="en"> <head> <style> input[type="checkbox"] { zoom: 3; } </style> </head> <body> <h3> To Set Checkbox Size in HTML/CSS </h3> <p> In this example we have used <strong>zoom </strong> property to set checkbox size in HTML/CSS. </p> <input type="checkbox" id="option1"> <label for="option1">Option 1</label> <br><br> <input type="checkbox" id="option2"> <label for="option2">Option 2</label> </body> </html>
Conclusion
To set checkbox size in HTML/CSS is a simple process. In this article we have discussed three different approaches to set checkbox size in HTML/CSS which are: by using CSS height and width, by using transform property and by using zoom property.
