The HTML input element <input type=checkbox>is an input element to enter an array of different values. The valueattribute is used to define the value submitted by the checkbox. The checkedattribute is used to indicate whether this item is selected. The indeterminateattribute is used to indicate that the checkbox is in an indeterminate state (on most platforms, this draws a horizontal line across the checkbox).

Radio button is an element that can be turned on and off. Radio buttons are almost always grouped together in groups. Only one radio button within the same radiogroupmay be selected at a time. The user can switch which radio button is turned on by selecting it with the mouse or keyboard. Other radio buttons in the same group are turned off. A label, specified with the labelattribute may be added beside the radio button.

For even more customization and cross browser consistency, use our completely custom form elements to replace the browser defaults. They’re built on top of semantic and accessible markup, so they’re solid replacements for any default form control. Custom checkboxes can also utilize the :indeterminatepseudo class when manually set via JavaScript (there is no available HTML attribute for specifying it).

Besides default color, both checkboxes and radio buttons support 5 additional contextual color classes and other custom colors from color system. Colors are adapted to use in different background colors of parent elements - dropdown menus, active list states, input group addons - all checkboxes and radios are white on dark backgrounds. To use, simply add backgroundand textcolor classes to Uniform's wrapperClassoptions.
