View Compiled

// Converted to SCSS. If you want to grab just the CSS, click the `View Compiled` button on the css window over there <-- . That will list out the compiled css for you to use. Grab all the css between the comments and the html between the comments and it should work like a champ anywhere you place it.


















// All this jquery is just used for presentation. Not required at all for the radio buttons to work.
$( document ).ready(function(){
//   Hide the border by commenting out the variable below
    var $on = 'section';
    $($on).css({
      'background':'none',
      'border':'none',
      'box-shadow':'none'
    });
