Ok I have an issue getting my label to change upon a radio button being selected. The following code works just fine for what I need:

<table> not present

However, if I place the same code between table attributes like I need to, all of a sudden the code does not work. I have tried giving the table a name/id/class and addressing the css to that but still nothing. I just need to know what Im missing to get this code to work with in a table. Here is the link to the fiddle with the table attribute:

It's not working because your CSS uses the adjacent sibling selector (+) This means that only elements that are direct siblings will be selected. Try moving your label elements into the same table cell in order for your existing CSS to work.

  • Thank you, yeah I found that out, however is there a work around if they are in different columns. The only reason why I ask is because at work we have to use a program that creates certain html docs and there is no way to tell it to place them within the same td. I would have to manually going into every file and remove the td separators on each row and each table. Thats why I would either like to find a css work around or even a javascript work around that I can add in using a header file. – user258122 Apr 08 '14 at 20:52
  • If you can use javascript then this should get you started: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1423777/how-can-i-check-whether-a-radio-button-is-selected-in-javascript – Dryden Long Apr 08 '14 at 20:57
  • Ok looked through it, since Im not all that familiar with JS for this particular issue I went with something simple like: if $('input[id=T2_1]:checked') {'label[for=T2_1]'.border:2px.solid.red!important} this didn't work either would you be able to let me know what I might be missing in it? – user258122 Apr 08 '14 at 21:08
  • @user258122 I'd post a new question for that – Dryden Long Apr 08 '14 at 21:13
