Twitter Bootstrap Question posted in

Twitter bootstrap – How can I change the background color of a button when clicked?

I researched a lot, and I found this JSFiddle looks like what I need, but, when I click the button, the page background is changing. I want the button’s color to be changed when clicked, instead.

div{
    width: 100%;
    height: 100%;
    background: #5CB85C;
    position: absolute;
    top: 0;
    left: 0;
    z-index:1;
}
label.btn {
    position: absolute;
    top:10px;
    left: 10px;
    z-index:2;
    -webkit-touch-callout: none;
    -webkit-user-select: none;
    -khtml-user-select: none;
    -moz-user-select: none;
    -ms-user-select: none;
    user-select: none;
}
input[type="checkbox"]{
    display: none;
}
input[type="checkbox"]:checked + div{
    background: #5BC0DE;
}
label + input[type="checkbox"]:checked{
    background: #000;
}
<link href="http://netdna.bootstrapcdn.com/twitter-bootstrap/2.3.2/css/bootstrap-combined.min.css" rel="stylesheet"/>
<label for="check" class="btn btn-default">Toggle background colour</label>
<input type="checkbox" id="check" />
<div></div>

    This is fairly trivial. Simply move the “button” label element to after the checkbox so that you can select it with the + selector (this is called the adjacent sibling selector; there is no previous sibling selector, unfortunately), and change the CSS to match. JSFiddle

    div{
    width: 100%;
    height: 100%;
    background: #5CB85C;
    position: absolute;
    top: 0;
    left: 0;
    z-index:1;
}
.btn {
    position: absolute;
    top:10px;
    left: 10px;
    z-index:2;
    -webkit-touch-callout: none;
    -webkit-user-select: none;
    -khtml-user-select: none;
    -moz-user-select: none;
    -ms-user-select: none;
    user-select: none;
}
input[type="checkbox"]{
    display: none;
}
input[type="checkbox"]:checked + .btn {
    background: #5BC0DE;
}
/* label + input[type="checkbox"]:checked{
    background: #000;
} */ /* I've commented this last selector out as it is unused per Harry's point in the comments */
    <link href="http://netdna.bootstrapcdn.com/twitter-bootstrap/2.3.2/css/bootstrap-combined.min.css" rel="stylesheet"/>
<input type="checkbox" id="check" />
<label for="check" class="btn btn-default">Toggle background color</label>
<div></div>

    To achieve what you want, in your css use background-color when the button is clicked.

    “:active” property is used for displaying clicked event style…

    HTML:

    <input type='button' class='btn' value='test'/>

    CSS:

    .btn {
    background-color:#00ff00;
}

.btn:active {
    background-color:#ff00ff;
}

    In css you can not go backward you should go forward like following.
    You need to put label after input box.

    + is for the next sibling. There is no “previous sibling” selector.

    div{
    width: 100%;
    height: 100%;
    background: #5CB85C;
    position: absolute;
    top: 0;
    left: 0;
    z-index:1;
}
label.btn {
    position: absolute;
    top:10px;
    left: 10px;
    z-index:2;
    -webkit-touch-callout: none;
    -webkit-user-select: none;
    -khtml-user-select: none;
    -moz-user-select: none;
    -ms-user-select: none;
    user-select: none;
}
input[type="checkbox"]{
    display: none;
}
input[type="checkbox"]:checked + label{
    background: #5BC0DE;
}
label + input[type="checkbox"]:checked{
    background: #000;
}
    <link href="http://netdna.bootstrapcdn.com/twitter-bootstrap/2.3.2/css/bootstrap-combined.min.css" rel="stylesheet"/>
<input type="checkbox" id="check" />
<label for="check" class="btn btn-default">Toggle background colour</label>
<div></div>
