What specific areas of your project would you like help with?

What I want to do

  • I am trying to use SVG to replace the default radio button to give my webpage a consistent look across different browser.
  • I want the SVG outer circle to grey out when it is not clicked
  • when the radio button is clicked (in my case, it is the label, I wrapped the label around the radio button), then colored when it is clicked

SVG I used has separate into parts for better control (please see in README)

What I read and try

  • I read Inclusively Hiding & Styling Checkboxes and Radio Buttons and learn to use opacity 0 over visibility for better accessibility.

    • using opacity 0 over sr-only can improve accessibility for users navigating by touch
    • Both display: none and visibility: hidden remove the element they hide from the DOM and accessibility tree
  • I learnt from this two code pen, using Vanilla CSS to style the SVG when the checkbox/ Radio button is clicked. Their SVG has separate into parts for better control using class name

    • #PracticalA11y: Inclusively-hidden custom-styled checkbox

    • CodePen Home Radio Button with SVG

    • SVG example (please see in README)

    • using Vanilla CSS to style the SVG when it is checked

    input:checked + svg {
        .radioDot,
        .radioOutline {
          opacity: 1;
        }
      }
    
  • I also learn from this example, Custom Radio Buttons with only Tailwind CSS, this example taught me to use Tailwind peer.

    • In Tailwind CSS, the peer-checked class can style elements that are siblings of the peer element when the peer element is checked.

Problem I have

  • I cannot control individual parts of the SVG using Tailwind
  • The peer-checked class will not work in my case because the element is not a direct sibling of the input element.
  • In Tailwind CSS, I cannot directly target sibling elements with complex selectors like input:checked + svg .radioDot because Tailwind CSS is a utility-first CSS framework that generates utility classes for individual elements.
 input:checked + svg {
     .radioDot,
     .radioOutline {
       opacity: 1;
     }
   }

How I solve it

  • I used a similar approach as https://marek-rozmus.medium.com/styling-checkbox-with-tailwind-46a92c157e2d
  • I put two SVG on top of each other and change their opacity.

Please suggest a better solution.
