All-CSS Switch from #OrlandoCodePen

Jan 12, 2017

At the #OrlandoCodePen meetup tonight, one of the demos was an iOS-inspired toggle switch made with a couple of divs, some CSS, and a little bit of javascript.

It got me thinking about solving the same problem with a single checkbox and some CSS.

Here is the resulting timelapse (from 7min down to 2min) - final pen below:

All-CSS Toggle Switch

We're all for progressive enhancement, but CodePen is a bit unique in that it's all about writing and showing front end code, including JavaScript. It's required to use most of the features of CodePen.

Need to know how to enable it? Go here.

Close this, use anyway.
