"Checkbox button may not register on first click, may require

If you are using the firefox browser, can you please open this specific fiddle.

The problem at hand pertains to a checkbox button that requires multiple clicks to turn off. My main concern is figuring out how to prevent this issue from occurring. I am aware that it may be due to the posistion:relative, which is necessary for preventing the page from scrolling to the top every time a button is clicked. However, my ultimate goal is to have the button function properly with just one click to turn it on and off without needing multiple clicks.

Answer №1

(Read the comments below the question for further insight)

It seems that solving this issue without Javascript is not possible: the browser interprets a quick (or double) click on the text itself as selecting the text, preventing the event from reaching the checkbox. Using Javascript allows for the deselection of the text upon click.

To avoid the problem, try clicking "slowly" to prevent text selection with a double click - demonstrating the root cause of the challenge with no solution using only CSS or HTML.

If you're looking for a solution, consider implementing a full Javascript Checkbox-Button solution instead of relying solely on CSS.
