Custom Radio Buttons with CSS appearance Property

CSS Web Development Front End Technology

We use the appearance property to style an element according to the platform-native style of the user’s operating system.

Syntax

The syntax of CSS appearance property is as follows −

Selector {
   appearance: /*value*/;
   -webkit-appearance: /*value*/; /*for Safari and Chrome */
   -moz-appearance: /*value*/; /*for Firefox */
}

Example

The following examples illustrate CSS appearance property.
