Question

I am trying to use JQuery to highlight the checkboxes checked by a user,
and when they will be un-highlighted when the user unchecked those checkoxes.

But how is it possible to do this effect?

Answer 1

styling checkbox differs in every browsers… take a look

so my suggestion would be:

1. wrap checkbox with span.
2. then give span a padding like 2px or 1px.
3. then when a checkbox is checked, give its span a style like red background.
