HTML, CSS : Beautiful radio and checkboxes

Radio:

There are two ways you can put label on radios

  • Put for="id_of_your_radio" in the label tag
  • Put the radio inside of lable tag; no need of for attribute. It will be implicit
    • <label>
       <input id="sex-other" type="radio" name="sex" value="others" /> Other
      </label>
    • This technique is more cleaner, intuitive and maintainable from my perspective.

Our Target:

The basic idea is: we want to modify the label according to our design demands. But the later technique explained above has label as parent to input tag; CSS has limitation; we cannot select parent on the basis of child. In our case child (input) changes events and need to modify the label.

So going with the former technique
