In this snippet, we suggest two methods of creating a checkbox with a clickable label. This is possible to do either by wrapping a <label> tag, or by using a ?for? attribute.

A checkbox is an HTML element that takes input from the user. It is possible to style a checkbox using Pseudo Elements like :before, :after, hover and :checked. To style the checkbox the user first needs to hide the default checkbox which can be done by setting the value of the visibility property to hidden.

The Input Checkbox name property in HTML DOM is used to set or return the value of name attribute of a input checkbox field. The name attribute is required for each input field. If the name attribute is not specified in an input field then the data of that field would not be sent at all.
