Comments
Confused
Can anyone explain to me why the input tag is within the label tag? Why is it not
$checkbox = '<label class="option" for="' . $element['#id'] . '">' . $element['#title'] . '</label>' . $checkbox ;Other form elements have
<label>Label Text</label><input ...I wanted to style the label
I wanted to style the label when an input is checked. One way to do it without Javascript is using a CSS sibling selector: ".form-item input:checked + label".
To place the label after the input, you can use this version in your template.php:
<?php
function theme_checkbox($element) {
_form_set_class($element, array('form-checkbox'));
$checkbox = '<input ';
$checkbox .= 'type="checkbox" ';
$checkbox .= 'name="' . $element['#name'] . '" ';
$checkbox .= 'id="' . $element['#id'] . '" ';
$checkbox .= 'value="' . $element['#return_value'] . '" ';
$checkbox .= $element['#value'] ? ' checked="checked" ' : ' ';
$checkbox .= drupal_attributes($element['#attributes']) . ' />';
if (!is_null($element['#title'])) {
$checkbox .= '<label class="option" for="' . $element['#id'] . '">' . $element['#title'] . '</label>';
}
unset($element['#title']);
return theme('form_element', $element, $checkbox);
}
?>
