Putting css borders around radio buttons - css

Question

I'm trying to get a garish red border around some radio buttons, but it is not showing up in Firefox latest or Chrome latest. Work fine in IE9/IE8.
Each of the input element on my form that are required has a data-val-required attribute put in by MVC3. All browsers puts in the red borders just dandy when we have a text or textarea inputs, but am struggling with the radio button. For IE, it works, but other browsers won't put the red border around it.
css:
input[data-val-required], select[data-val-required], textarea[data-val-required]
{
background-color: #F0FFFF;
border: 1px solid red;
}
view-source:
<label for="WaiveSelect">Do you waive confidentiality?</label><br />
<input data-val="true" data-val-number="The field WaiveSelect must be a number." data-val-required="Please select waive." id="WaiveSelect" name="WaiveSelect" type="radio" value="0" /> No, I do not waive confidentiality<br />
<input id="WaiveSelect_2" name="WaiveSelect" type="radio" value="2" /> Yes, I waive confidentiality<br />
<input id="WaiveSelect_3" name="WaiveSelect" type="radio" value="3" /> Yes, I waive confidentiality except to the client<br />
<span class="field-validation-valid" data-valmsg-for="WaiveSelect" data-valmsg-replace="true"></span>
What it looks like in IE (Firefox and Chrome shows no borders):

Answer 1

input[type=radio]{
outline: 1px solid red
}

Answer 2

I know this is four years old, but I came up with a nice solution using CSS Pseudo elements.
My requirement was to highlight an unchecked checkbox, or radio button in validation.
<input type="radio" class="required" name="radio1"/>
/* Radio button and Checkbox .required needs an after to show */
input[type=radio].required::after, input[type=checkbox].required::after {
display: block;
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
background: transparent;
content: '';
border: 2px solid red !important;
box-sizing: border-box;
}
/* Radio buttons are round, so add 100% border radius. */
input[type=radio].required::after {
border-radius:100%;
}

Answer 3

You could accomplish by wrapping each input element with div tag and give it a border and a float left... like this:
<div style="border:1px solid red;float:left">
<input type="radio".. />
</div>
No, I do not waive confidentiality

Answer 4

Not all browsers support borders around radio buttons and checkboxes. I voted for a bug years ago to have this included in Gecko but so far they haven't implemented it.

This may help you:
.style {
border: 1px solid red;
width: 20px;
height: 20px;
text-align: center;
margin-top: 2px;

}
<div class="style">
<input type="radio" />
</div>
<div class="style">
<input type="radio" />
</div>
<div class="style">
<input type="radio" />
</div>
<div class="style">
<input type="radio" />
</div>

Complete code using jquery
https://jsfiddle.net/xcb26Lzx/
$(function(){
$('.layer').css('border',0);
$('input:radio').change(
function(){
if ($(this).is(':checked')) {
$('.layer').css('border','1px solid red');
}
});
});

Answer 7

Try this...
Put a div around the input and assign a class to the div like so:
<div class="custom"><input type="radio"></div>
Then open your custom css file and add this CSS
.custom {border: 1px solid red; border-radius: 30px; padding: 3px 3px 0 3px; background: red;}
This should create a nice red border around the radio button. If you're using a check box you would simply remove the border-radius: 30px from the css. Depending you may need to play with the padding a bit to center the button, but this worked for me.
Edit: You will also want to assign the following CSS to the div so it lines up correctly.
.custom {display: inline;}
