In this article, we will show you how to display radio buttons and checkboxes with custom designs using the jQuery plugin jquery.screwdefaultbuttonsV2.js.
What is jQuery.screwdefaultbuttonsV2.js?
`jquery.screwdefaultbuttonsV2.js` is a jQuery plugin used to decorate standard radio buttons and checkboxes with custom images.

Customizing Radio Buttons and Checkboxes with jQuery.screwdefaultbuttonsV2.js
JavaScript Settings
To use this plugin, you must first configure the settings in JavaScript. Load the `jquery.min.js` and `jquery.screwdefaultbuttonsV2.js` files. Then, set up the custom targets using `$(radio button).screwDefaultButtons({image or size})` and `$(checkbox).screwDefaultButtons({image or size})`. Refer to the following code snippet for guidance.
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.9.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script src="jquery.screwdefaultbuttonsV2.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(function(){
$('input:radio').screwDefaultButtons({
image: 'url("images/radioSmall.jpg")',
width: 43,
height: 43
});
$('input:checkbox').screwDefaultButtons({
image: 'url("images/checkboxSmall.jpg")',
width: 43,
height: 43
});
});
</script>
Place this code within the head tag or at the appropriate location within the body tag of your HTML. This will decorate the radio buttons and checkboxes on the page with the specified images.
CSS Settings
In addition to JavaScript, you will need to style with CSS. Set the CSS for radio buttons, checkboxes, and labels. Add the following CSS to style the buttons and labels.
<style type="text/css" media="all">
<!--
body{
margin: 0;
min-width: 980px;
padding: 0;
}
h1{
text-align:center;
}
.styledRadio, .styledCheckbox {
display: inline-block;
}
.example {
padding: 50px 0 0 20px;
}
label {
line-height: 43px;
font-size: 20px;
vertical-align: 14px;
padding-right: 20px;
}
button{
display: block;
}
-->
</style>
This CSS ensures that the labels and overall layout of the buttons are neatly arranged. Adjust it to fit your project.
