Custom Checkbox
Hello Guys! Welcome to Coding Torque. In this blog, I'm going to explain to you how to make Custom Checkbox using HTML and CSS. This will be a step-by-step guide. Let's get started 🚀.
Let's go step by step:
Step 1: Import Fontawesome CDN
Now let's import the font awesome CDN in our HTML head tag. fontawesome is a library that is used for icons in a website.
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/font-awesome/5.15.1/css/all.min.css"
integrity="sha512-+4zCK9k+qNFUR5X+cKL9EIR+ZOhtIloNl9GIKS57V1MyNsYpYcUrUeQc9vNfzsWfV28IaLL3i96P9sdNyeRssA=="
crossorigin="anonymous" />Step 2: IMPORT google fonts
Now let's import the fonts using Google Fonts API. Below is the code for Poppins Font. Paste the below code in head tag.
<link rel="preconnect" href="https://fonts.googleapis.com">
<link rel="preconnect" href="https://fonts.gstatic.com" crossorigin>
<link href="https://fonts.googleapis.com/css2?family=Poppins&display=swap" rel="stylesheet">Step 3: HTML Code
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<!-- Required meta tags -->
<meta charset="utf-8">
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">
