The name "Popular Science" doesn't mean we shift our coverage depending on public opinion. It means we cover relevant subjects that are rigorously researched, reliable, and grounded in reality.

⚓️ New Article: Creating a toggle switch with just CSS
Creating a toggle switch with just CSS
Today, I wanted to quickly share how I built Kelp’s toggle switch component with a single HTML attribute and CSS (no JavaScript required).
Let’s dig in!
The [role="switch"] attribute The [role="switch"] attribute is functionality identical to [role="checkbox"] (the implicit role a [type="checkbox"] element has), except that it conveys an on/off state instead of checked/unchecked.
<label for="agree"> <input type="checkbox" id="agree" > I'm a standard checkbox </label> <label for="switch"> <input type="checkbox" id="switch" role="switch" > I'm a switch </label> On it’s own, it changes nothing about how a checkbox looks or behaves.
