checkbox use label without id (label css can change) - css

Question

<style>
input[type=checkbox]{display:none}
label{color: black;}
input[type=checkbox]:checked + label{color:red;}
</style>
<label><input type="checkbox">Click</label>
I have a checkbox use label to click, when check box clicked, the label should change the color. What I try to achieve is do it without for="id". I place input inside of label, but the color wont change.
Is any way to do this without id?

Answer 1

It's a bit of a hack but you can use something like this:
With input outside label..
<input type="checkbox"><label>Click</label>
input[type=checkbox] {
display: inline-block;
width: 100%;
position: relative;
z-index: 1;
opacity: 0;
}
label {
position: absolute;
top: 8px;
color: black;
}
input[type=checkbox]:checked + label {
color: red;
}

If anyone stumbles over this old question I'd like to pick up Vangel Tzo's answer and optimize it a bit. I would recommend to switch position:absolute; and position:relative; for the label and input fields to allow longer text to wrap properly without overlapping any content below it:
.hidden-checkboxes {
font: 14px 'Open Sans', sans-serif;
}
.hidden-checkboxes input[type=checkbox] {
position: absolute;
left: 0;
top: 0;
display: inline-block;
width: 100%;
z-index: 1;
opacity: 0;
height: 30px;
}
.hidden-checkboxes label {
position: relative;
left: 0;
top: 0;
padding: 5px;
display: inline-block;
width: 100%;
}
.hidden-checkboxes input[type=checkbox]:checked + label {
background: #3298dc;
color: white;
}
.hidden-checkboxes div {
position: relative;
margin-bottom: 1px;
}
<div class="hidden-checkboxes" style="width:300px;">
<div>
<input type="checkbox"><label>Check me please.</label>
</div>
<div>
<input type="checkbox"><label>Or how about me?</label>
</div>
<div>
<input type="checkbox"><label>How about some long text that will cause wrapping of text?</label>
</div>
</div>
Remark: Font and margin-bottom are only used for styling the demo.
