Ace admin template has support for pure CSS checkbox and on/off switches.
|
<br />
|
This makes it more lightweight and there's no need for an external library.
|
</li>
|
<li>
|
A basic checkbox element has <code>.ace</code>
|
class and a <code>.lbl</code> element follows it:
|
<pre data-language="html">
|
<label>
|
<input type="checkbox" name="myoption[]" class="ace" />
|
<span class="lbl">Optional Text</span>
|
</label>
|
</pre>
|
<li>
|
It's always a good idea to wrap checkbox element and the <code>.lbl</code> element
|
inside a <code>label</code> for better click response, except for some cases such as re-styling
|
jqGrid checkboxes (see Notes below)
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
You can use an addtional <code>.ace-checkbox-2</code> class for another checkbox style:
|
<br />
|
<pre data-language="html">
|
<label>
|
<input type="checkbox" name="myoption[]" class="ace ace-checkbox-2" />
|
<span class="lbl">Optional Text</span>
|
</label>
|
</pre>
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
Radio buttons are also styled like checkboxes:
|
<pre data-language="html">
|
<label>
|
<input type="radio" name="myoption" class="ace" value="1" />
|
<span class="lbl">Optional Text</span>
|
</label>
|
</pre>

<h3 class="info-title smaller" data-id="#custom/checkbox.switch">2. Switch elements</h3>
|
<!-- #section:custom/checkbox.switch -->
|
<div class="info-section">
|
<ul class="info-list list-unstyled">

|
Switch elements are like checkboxes with a few additional classes:
|
<ol>
|
<li><code>.ace-switch</code></li>
|
<li><code>.ace-switch-2</code></li>
|
<li><code>.ace-switch-3</code></li>
|
<li><code>.ace-switch-4</code></li>
|
<li><code>.ace-switch-5</code></li>
|
<li><code>.ace-switch-6</code></li>
|
<li><code>.ace-switch-7</code></li>
|
</ol>
|
<pre data-language="html">
|
<label>
|
<input type="checkbox" name="myoption" class="ace ace-switch" />
|
<span class="lbl"></span>
|
</label>
|
|
<label>
|
<input type="checkbox" name="myoption" class="ace ace-switch ace-switch-4" />
|
<span class="lbl"></span>
|
</label>
|
</pre>
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
<code>.btn-rotate</code> makes the bars horizontal:
|
<br />
|
<label>
|
<input type="checkbox" name="myoption" class="ace ace-switch ace-switch-4 btn-rotate" />
|
<span class="lbl"></span>
|
</label>
|
<br />
|
<pre data-language="html">
|
<label>
|
<input type="checkbox" name="myoption" class="ace ace-switch ace-switch-4 btn-rotate" />
|
<span class="lbl"></span>
|
</label>
|
</pre>
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
<code>.btn-empty</code> hides the bars:
|
<br />
|
<label>
|
<input type="checkbox" name="myoption" class="ace ace-switch ace-switch-4 btn-empty" />
|
<span class="lbl"></span>
|
</label>
|
<br />
|
<pre data-language="html">
|
<label>
|
<input type="checkbox" name="myoption" class="ace ace-switch ace-switch-4 btn-empty" />
|
<span class="lbl"></span>
|
</label>
|
</pre>
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
<code>.btn-flat</code> makes the checkbox rectangular:
|
<br />
|
<label>
|
<input type="checkbox" name="myoption" class="ace ace-switch ace-switch-4 btn-flat" />
|
<span class="lbl"></span>
|
</label>
|
<br />
|
<pre data-language="html">
|
<label>
|
<input type="checkbox" name="myoption" class="ace ace-switch ace-switch-4 btn-flat" />
|
<span class="lbl"></span>
|
</label>
|
</pre>
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
You can have a custom text for switch elements using <code>data-lbl</code> attribute of the
|
<code>.lbl</code> element.
|
<br />
|
You should add enough spaces (&nbsp;) to adjust your custom text:
|
<label>
|
<input type="checkbox" name="myoption" class="ace ace-switch ace-switch-4 btn-flat" />
|
<span class="lbl" data-lbl="Hi Bye"></span>
|
</label>
|
<br />
|
<pre data-language="html">
|
<label>
|
<input type="checkbox" name="myoption" class="ace ace-switch ace-switch-4 btn-flat" />
|
<span class="lbl" data-lbl="Hi&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Bye"></span>
|
</label>
|
</pre>
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
You can also edit <code>assets/css/less/form/checkbox.less</code>
|
and modify <code>@switch-1-text</code> variables and re-compile LESS files into CSS.
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
Sometimes your text is not adjusted well.
|
In that case you can override the following CSS rules and find the best values:
|
<pre data-language="css">
|
/* for default switch element */
|
input[type=checkbox].ace.ace-switch + .lbl::before {
|
text-indent: -21px;
|
}
|
input[type=checkbox].ace.ace-switch:checked + .lbl::before {
|
text-indent: 8px;
|
}
|
|
/* or other ones */
|
input[type=checkbox].ace.ace-switch.ace-switch-4 + .lbl::before {
|
text-indent: -25px;
|
}
|
input[type=checkbox].ace.ace-switch.ace-switch-4:checked + .lbl::before {
|
text-indent: 9px;
|
}
|
</pre>
|
</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
</div>
|
<!-- /section:custom/checkbox.switch -->
|
|
|
<h3 class="info-title smaller" data-id="#custom/checkbox.notes">3. Notes</h3>
|
<!-- #section:custom/checkbox.notes -->
|
<div class="info-section">
|
<ul class="info-list list-unstyled">
|
<li>
|
You may face an issue with checkboxes in ASP.NET as there's often a hidden input inserted
|
after the checkbox and therefore our CSS rule which requires <code>.lbl</code> to be inserted
|
immediately after checkbox element, fails:
|
<pre data-language="html">
|
<label>
|
<input type="checkbox" name="myoption" class="ace" />
|
<input type="hidden" name="asp-inserted-hidden-input" />
|
<span class="lbl"></span>
|
</label>
|
</pre>
|
Checkboxes won't be displayed here.
|
<br />
|
You can remove <code>.ace</code> class to have default browser checkbox or
|
|
you can use <a href="../build/css.html">CSS builder tool</a> and enable <b>ASP.NET friendly checkboxes </b>
|
option.
|
<div class="space-6"></div>
|
<i class="ace-icon fa fa-hand-o-right"></i>
|
Please note that your checkbox element should only have one <code>.lbl</code> sibling:
|
<pre data-language="html">
|
<label>
|
<input type="checkbox" name="myoption" class="ace" />
|
<input type="hidden" name="asp-inserted-hidden-input" />
|
<span class="lbl">Will be styled </span>
|
<span class="lbl">This will also be styled with new ASP.net rules!</span>
|
</label>
|
</pre>
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
It also seems that Rails framework automatically puts a hidden input before the checkbox.
|
<br />
|
In some browsers, this may prevent the checkbox from receiving click events if it's inside a label:
|
<pre data-language="html">
|
<label>
|
<input type="hidden" name="rails-inserted-hidden-input" />
|
<input type="checkbox" name="myoption" class="ace" />
|
<span class="lbl"></span>
|
</label>
|
</pre>
|
|
That's because <code>label</code> element should only have one input element which
|
in this is the "hidden" input.
|
|
<br />
|
To fix that you can put "hidden" input after checkbox or associate the label to checkbox with
|
"for" attribute and checkbox "id":
|
<pre data-language="html">
|
<label for="myoption">
|
<input type="hidden" name="rails-inserted-hidden-input" />
|
<input id="myoption" type="checkbox" name="myoption" class="ace" />
|
<span class="lbl"></span>
|
</label>
|
</pre>
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
Sometimes you have a list of checkboxes inside a parent with scrollbars.
|
<br />
|
In that case, it's better to put checkboxes inside a parent with <code>position:relative</code>.
|
<br />
|
For example inside a <code>.pos-rel</code> element:
|
|
<div class="well">
|
<div style="overflow-y: scroll; overflow-x: hidden; height: 60px;">
|
<div>
|
<label class="pos-rel">
|
<input type="checkbox" name="myoption1" class="ace ace-switch ace-switch-4 btn-flat" />
|
<span class="lbl"></span>
|
</label>
|
</div>
|
<div>
|
<label class="pos-rel">
|
<input type="checkbox" name="myoption2" class="ace ace-switch ace-switch-4 btn-flat" />
|
<span class="lbl"></span>
|
</label>
|
</div>
|
<div>
|
<label class="pos-rel">
|
<input type="checkbox" name="myoption3" class="ace ace-switch ace-switch-4 btn-flat" />
|
<span class="lbl"></span>
|
</label>
|
</div>
|
</div>
|
</div>
|
<pre data-language="html">
|
<div style="overflow-y: scroll; overflow-x: hidden; height: 60px;">
|
<div>
|
<label class="pos-rel">
|
<input type="checkbox" name="myoption1" class="ace ace-switch ace-switch-4 btn-flat" />
|
<span class="lbl"></span>
|
</label>
|
</div>
|
<div>
|
<label class="pos-rel">
|
<input type="checkbox" name="myoption2" class="ace ace-switch ace-switch-4 btn-flat" />
|
<span class="lbl"></span>
|
</label>
|
</div>
|
.
|
.
|
.
|
</div>
|
</pre>
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
Sometimes you shouldn't wrap the checkbox and <code>.lbl</code> inside a label.
|
<br />
|
For example in jqGrid plugin, when you launch an "edit record" or "new record" dialog,
|
and want to style the checkbox dynamically:
|
<pre data-language="javascript">
|
form.find('input[type=checkbox]')
|
.addClass('ace ace-switch ace-switch-5').after('<span class="lbl"></span>');
|
</pre>
|
Checkbox should not be wrapped inside <code>label</code> because it conflicts with
|
plugin's data upload mechanism.
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
For better vertical alignmnet sometimes you should add <code>.middle</code> class to <code>.lbl</code>
|
element:
|
<pre data-language="html">
|
<label>
|
<input type="checkbox" name="myoption" class="ace ace-switch ace-switch-4 btn-flat" />
|
<span class="lbl middle"></span>
|
</label>
|
</pre>
|
</li>
|
</ul>
|
</div>
|
<!-- /section:custom/checkbox.notes -->
|
|
<h3 class="info-title smaller">4. Options</h3>
|
<div class="info-section">
|
<ul class="info-list list-unstyled">
|
<li>
|
For a slightly larger version of checkbox and radio buttons, you can add <code>.input-lg</code>
|
class to the input element:
|
<pre data-language="html">
|
<label>
|
<input type="checkbox" name="myoption" class="ace input-lg" />
|
<span class="lbl"></span>
|
</label>
|
</pre>
|
</li>
|
|
<li>To add space between checkbox and its label you can use <code>.padding-*</code> class for <code>.lbl</code> element:
|
<div class="well well-sm">
|
<label>
|
<input type="checkbox" name="myoption" class="ace" />
|
<span class="lbl padding-16">Padding 16</span>
|
</label>
|
</div>
|
<pre data-language="html">
|
<label>
|
<input type="checkbox" name="myoption" class="ace" />
|
<span class="lbl padding-8"></span>
|
</label>
|
</pre>
|
Possible values are <code>.padding-2</code> <code>.padding-4</code> ... <code>.padding-16</code>
|
</li>
|
</ul>
|
</div>
|
|
|
</div>
