Using jQuery UI I have two radio buttons, Approve/Reject, which I would like to style independantly, so when 'Approve' is selected, it will be blue, and when 'Reject' is selected, it will be red:
Apologies for my terrible red button mockup :-) Hopefully this will give you an idea of what I'm after. I've tried changing the class of both buttons/labels, but this isn't then reflected onto the jQuery-UI overlay.
Here's my current code that is generating the buttons, and also displaying a tick or a cross depending on the selection:
$('.approvedToggle').buttonset();
$('input:radio').click(function() {
if($(this).val() === 'approve') {
$(this).parent('div').children(".tick").show();
$(this).parent('div').children(".cross").hide();
} else {
$(this).parent('div').children(".tick").hide();
$(this).parent('div').children(".cross").show();
}
});
Any help would be much appreciated - thanks!
What you need to do is override the jQuery UI default styling.
Here's what the documentation states:
If a deeper level of customization is needed, there are widget-specific classes referenced within the jquery.ui.button.css stylesheet that can be modified. These classes are highlighed in bold below.
Sample markup with jQuery UI CSS Framework classes
<button class="ui-button ui-button-text-only ui-widget ui-state-default ui-corner-all"> <span class="ui-button-text">Button Label</span> </button>
So basically, what you can do, is something like this:
HTML:
<div id="approvedToggle">
<input type="radio" id="ApproveButton" name="radio" />
<label id="ApproveButtonLabel" for="ApproveButton">Approve</label>
<input type="radio" id="RejectButton" name="radio" />
<label id="RejectButtonLabel" for="RejectButton">Reject</label>
</div>
CSS (Important! This styling MUST be declared AFTER the jQuery UI CSS file):
#ApproveButtonLabel.ui-state-active { background: blue; }
#ApproveButtonLabel.ui-state-active span.ui-button-text { color: red; }
#RejectButtonLabel.ui-state-active { background: red; }
#RejectButtonLabel.ui-state-active span.ui-button-text { color: blue; }
jQuery:
$('#approvedToggle').buttonset();
Output:
