checkbox styled as button input:checked background color does not occupy button space












0















I have been looking for ways to turn checkboxes to look like button, I stumbled upon this question and I did but I added a padding on mine,



.ck-button {
padding: 5px 5px 0px 5px;
}


here is the jsfiddle



As you can see, when clicked, it will just change the color of the span and not the whole button. I tried to add the padding here



.ck-button input:checked + span {
background-color:#0077CC;
color:#fff;
}


or remove the span but neither of them is working. Please help me and thank you in advance.

          Try this. You have to give padding to the ck-button label span not in ck-button class.






          div label input {
          margin-right:100px;
          }
          body {
          font-family:sans-serif;
          }

          .ck-button {
          margin:4px;
          background-color:#EFEFEF;
          border-radius:4px;
          border:1px solid #D0D0D0;
          overflow:auto;
          float:left;
          /*padding: 5px 5px 5px 5px;*/
          }

          .ck-button label {
          display:block;
          width:5.0em;
          }

          .ck-button label span {
          text-align:center;
          padding:5px 5px;
          display:block;
          }

          .ck-button label input {
          position:absolute;
          opacity:0;
          /*top:-20px; don't use this thing use opacity:0 */
          }

          .ck-button input:checked + span {
          background-color:#911;
          color:#fff;
          }

          <div class="ck-button">
          <label>
          <input type="checkbox" value="1"><span>red</span>
          </label>
          </div>
          <div class="ck-button">
          <label>
          <input type="checkbox" value="2"><span>red</span>
