How do I use a checkbox within my WordPress website?

I have made a toggle switch and I would like to integrate it into my site but I am unsure how to do this. I am using the plugin bbPress on my WordPress site and would like for the user of the website to be able to click the toggle switch when leaving a comment and then for their input to be displayed on their comment.
Here is the HTML for the toggle switch:
`
<!-- ____[TOGGLE BUTTON]____ -->
<div class="toggle">
<!-- ____[OUTER BOX WITH BORDER LINE]____ -->
<div class="toggle__box">
<!-- ____[INPUT WITHOUT VISIBILITY LINKED WITH LABEL]____ -->
<input type="checkbox" id="toggle-check">
<!-- ____[TOGGLE LABEL FOR INPUT]____ -->
<label for="toggle-check" class="toggle__label">
<!-- ____[TOGGLE THUMB ICON]____ -->
<div class="toggle__thumb">
<img src= <?php get_image_for_slider(); ?> >
</div>
<!-- ____[TEXT OF TOGGLE]____ -->
<div class="toggle__text--green">BULLISH</div>
<div class="toggle__text--red">BEARISH</div>
</label>
</div>
</div>
`
and then here is the CSS for this button:
*,
*::before,
*::after {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
-webkit-box-sizing: border-box;
box-sizing: border-box;
}
body {
font-family: 'Segoe UI', Tahoma, Geneva, Verdana, sans-serif;
}
.toggle {
width: 100%;
display: -webkit-box;
display: -ms-flexbox;
display: flex;
align-items: center;
justify-content: center;
;
}
.toggle input {
display: none;
opacity: 0;
}
.toggle__box {
width: 13rem;
height: 4rem;
border-radius: 100px;
border: 1px solid #707070;
position: relative;
overflow: hidden;
}
.toggle__label {

top: 0;

}
.toggle__thumb {

font-weight: 500;
-webkit-transition: all .005s linear;
transition: all .005s linear;
z-index: 0;
}
.toggle__text--red {
color: #FF001A;
left: 10%;
opacity: 0;
visibility: hidden;
}
.toggle__text--green {
right: 10%;
color: #29FF00;
}
.toggle #toggle-check:checked+label .toggle__thumb {
left: calc(100% - .6rem);
transform: translate(-100%, -50%);
}
.toggle #toggle-check:checked+label .toggle__text--red {
opacity: 1;
visibility: visible;
}
.toggle #toggle-check:checked+label .toggle__text--green {
opacity: 0;
visibility: hidden;
}`
Is there some way to link a variable to this switch/checkbox and so when the user clicks it I can use that to display something to the screen - as mentioned above? I have tried using isset($_POST["name"] but that didn't seem to work. I have also seen that maybe adding an event listener in JavaScript could work but I am not sure how to code in Java so any help would be great!
Many Thanks

You should be able to solve this using JS. Just insert this JS and then put what every you want in the function.
document.getElementById("toggle-check").addEventListener("click", funct1);
function funct1() {
/* you can put what ever function or thing you want to happen when you click the box here!*/
document.getElementById('p').innerHTML = "When you click the box this text will show up!";
}

div onclick does not fire (css-animated arrow, possible div size/overlaying issue)

I am using an animated arrow with the following code:
function startDownload() {
alert("Hi");
}
.arrow {
cursor: pointer;
height: 120px;
position: relative;
transition: transform 0.1s;
width: 80px;
/*display: inline-block;*/
}
.arrow-top, .arrow-bottom {
background-color: #666;
height: 4px;
left: -5px;
position: absolute;
top: 50%;
width: 100%;
}
.arrow-top:after, .arrow-bottom:after {
background-color: #fff;
content: '';
height: 100%;
position: absolute;
top: 0;
transition: all 0.15s;
}
.arrow-top {
transform: rotate(45deg);
transform-origin: bottom right;
}
.arrow-top:after {
left: 100%;
right: 0;
transition-delay: 0s;
}
.arrow-bottom {
transform: rotate(-45deg);
transform-origin: top right;
}
.arrow-bottom:after {
left: 0;
right: 100%;
transition-delay: 0.15s;
}
.arrow:hover .arrow-top:after {
left: 0;
transition-delay: 0.15s;
}
.arrow:hover .arrow-bottom:after {
right: 0;
transition-delay: 0s;
}
.arrow:active {
transform: translateX(-50%) translateY(-50%) scale(0.9);
}
<style type="text/css">
body {
background-color: black;
/*background-color: #2B2A3F;*/
}
</style>
<div class="arrow" id="start-arrow" onclick="startDownload()" style="z-index: 10;">
<div class="arrow-top" style="border:1px solid black; z-index: 9;"></div>
<div class="arrow-bottom" style="border:1px solid black; z-index: 9;"></div>
</div>
The issue is that when I click on the two arrow lines, the onclick() does not work. It works only if I click in the surrounding area of the two lines, that is enclosed by the border of the parent div with id start-arrow.
The desired behavior is for the onclick to work in the entire area enclosed by the start-arrow div.
I tried using z-index to make the start-arrow div be on top, but it's not working. I tried messing with display and also with position of the elements in CSS but no luck as well. However I should mention that I'm looking for a solution that does not include changing the position attributes of the elements.
How can I make the onclick fire regardless of where I click in the start-arrow div area?
EDIT: it seems to be working a lot better inside Stack Overflow, why? However if a click on top of the border of each line, it doesn't always work. I am opening mine (exact same code) in Firefox (it doesn't work inside my asp.net either).

Why don't we simply wrap the elements into another parent element and bind the event on that? I am able to solve it using a parent element ('parent-id').
function startDownload() {
alert("Hi");
}
.arrow {
cursor: pointer;

This is not the most optimize solution, but it should do the trick, other solution is to increase click box by adding it padding.
let parent = document.getElementById("filterInput");
for(let element of parent.children){
element.addEventListener("click", startDownload)
}

The problem is you're attaching a click event listener. That means if you want it to fire, the element needs to be clicked & released.
If you click on your element, it moves to the upper-left. Now if you're slow enough the element isn't below your mouse pointer anymore, thus the click event won't fire because you released the mouse somewhere below.
So simply replace
onclick="startDownload()"
by
onmousedown="startDownload()"
and make sure you don't have an alert dialog in the callback function since it would stop the movement of your arrow. Simply trace something using console.log("fired");

Do it with jquery. Use the id start-arrow
<div class="arrow" id="start-arrow" onclick="startDownload()" style="z-index: 10;">
<div class="arrow-top" style="border:1px solid black; z-index: 9;"></div>
<div class="arrow-bottom" style="border:1px solid black; z-index: 9;"></div>
</div>
Try this:
$(document).on('click','#start-arrow',function(){
alert('Hi');
});

How to replicate modal css3 animation effect when clicking search?

I really like the effect of clicking on the search box and the search page coming up and the normal page fades out. How can I replicate this? Is this CSS3 only?
https://atmospherejs.com/

You can do that with CSS only and here is one way.
In this sample I used 2 radio inputs to keep track of whether to show the search box or not.
html, body {
margin: 0;
height: 100%;
}
#shide, #sshow {
display: none;
}
.container {
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
background:url('http://lorempixel.com/1024/600/city/9/') no-repeat;
background-size:cover;
transition: transform .6s ease-out, opacity .6s ease-out;
z-index: 1;
}
.showsearch{
position: absolute;
top: 25px;
right: 25px;
background-color: rgba(255,255,255,0.9);
color: #F00;
font-size: 20px;
border-radius: 5px;
padding: 10px 25px;
cursor: pointer;
}
.searchbox {
position: fixed;
left: 0;
top: 0;
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
opacity: 0;
background: rgba(255,255,255,0.9);
transition: opacity .5s ease-in;
}
.searchbox .close{
position: absolute;
top: 25px;
right: 25px;
width: 60px;
height: 60px;
cursor: pointer;
}
.searchbox .close:before,
.searchbox .close:after {
content: ' ';
position: absolute;
left: 0;
top: 50%;
width: 100%;
height: 2px;
transform: rotate(45deg);
background: #000;
}
.searchbox .close:after {
transform: rotate(-45deg);
}
.searchbox > div {
position: relative;
top: 46%;
left: 50%;
transform: translate(-50%,-50%);
text-align: center;
}
.searchbox > div > div {
font-size: 24px;
}
#sshow:checked ~ .searchbox {
opacity: 1;
z-index: 2;
}
#sshow:checked ~ .container {
opacity: 0.4;
transform: scale(0.9, 0.9);
}
<input type="radio" name="search" id="sshow">
<input type="radio" name="search" id="shide">
<div class="searchbox">
<label class="close" for="shide"></label>
<div>
<div>Search box</div>
<input type="text" class="field">
</div>
</div>
<div class="container">
<label class="showsearch" for="sshow">Search</label>
</div>

Yes this is css along with a little bit of jquery you can make this happen. You will need to wrap your body content in a wrapper so you can scale it with css. Then use jquery toggleClass to give the body a class of something like search-open. Then you can use transitions for the rest like so:
Here is a fiddle demo Fiddle
Css:
.search-overlay{
position:fixed;
width:100%;
height:100%;
top:0;
left:0;
opacity:0;
background:rgba(255,255,255,0.9);
z-index: -1;
transition: all 250ms ease-in-out;
}
.body-wrapper{
transition: all 1200ms cubic-bezier(0.175, 0.885, 0.335, 1.05);
width:100%;
height:100%;
}
.search-open .search-overlay{
opacity:1;
z-index: 5;
}
.search-open .body-wrapper{
position:fixed;
top:0;
left:0;
opacity:0.5;
transform: scale3d(0.85, 0.85, 1);
}
Html:
<div class="search-overlay">
Search Content...
</div>
<div class="body-wrapper">
Body Content...
</div>
Then jquery to toggle the class use a button or something in the body content and the overlay to close it:
$('.search-button, .search-close').on("click", function(){
$('body').toggleClass("search-open");
});

How to create a smooth zoom and display an overlay when another HTML element gets hovered?

1st problem: I am trying to display the text overlay when the "point" class gets hovered, but for me works just the display when the "caption" class gets hovered, how to fix it?
2nd problem: I need to create a smooth zoom in image when the "point" class gets hovered, how can i do it?
Demo: http://jsfiddle.net/0qgcn2uu/12/
HTML:
<div class="caption">
<span class="point"></span>
<img src="http://www.blasdale.com/pictures/2007/Hendon/thumbs/IMG_3337.jpg" />
<div class="caption__overlay">
<div class="caption__overlay__content">

</div>
</div>
</div>
CSS:
.caption {
position: relative;
overflow: hidden;
-webkit-transform: translateZ(0);
}
.caption::before {
content: ' ';
position: absolute;
top: 0;
right: 0;
bottom: 0;
left: 0;
background: transparent;
transition: background .35s ease-out;
}
.captionHover::before {
background: rgba(248, 214, 215, .5);
}
/* I want that when i hover on the circle, the image would get this overlay, but this doesn't work */
.point:hover: + .caption::before {
background: rgba(248, 214, 215, .5);
}
.point {
position: absolute;
display: block;
height: 25px;
width: 25px;
border-radius: 30px;
background-color: black;
}
.caption__overlay {

right: 0;
bottom: 0;
left: 0;
padding: 10px;
color: white;
-webkit-transform: translateY(100%);
transform: translateY(100%);
transition: -webkit-transform .35s ease-out;
transition: transform .35s ease-out;
}
.caption:hover .caption__overlay {
-webkit-transform: translateY(0);
transform: translateY(0);
}
.caption {
display: inline-block;
}
.caption__media{
max-width: 100%;
}
jQuery:
$(document).ready(function() {
$(".point").mouseenter(function() {
$('.caption').addClass('captionHover');
});
$('.point').mouseleave(function() {
$('.caption').removeClass('captionHover');
});
});

All you need is the Adjacent sibling selector, General sibling selector and ftransform

Transition from 100% to auto

I have the following: http://jsfiddle.net/yHPTv/2491/
I was wondering why the transition isn't working? What it's supposed to do is slide in the hidden element (which can be of variable width) to the right edge of the .block element, however, it just pops in.
.block {
position: relative;
width: 500px;
height: 300px;
overflow: hidden;
background: lightgrey;
}
.block .hidden {
background: red;
padding: 3px 10px;
position: absolute;
bottom: 0;
left: 100%;
transition: 1s;
}
.block:hover .hidden {
transition: 1s;
left: auto;
right: 0;
}
<div class="block">
<div class="hidden">ABCDEFGHIJKL</div>
</div>
I think it has something to do with left: auto because if I change it left: 50%, it works, but not in the way I need it to.
Thanks.

As you say you can't animate from % to auto. But to get the desire effect you can also use transform property. Try this:
.block .hidden {
background: red;
padding: 3px 10px;
position: absolute;
bottom: 0;
right: 0;
transform:translateX(100%);
transition: 1s;
}
.block:hover .hidden {
transition: 1s;
transform:translateX(0)
}
Check the Demo Fiddle

Consider transitioning on right, from -100% to 0:
.block {
position: relative;
width: 500px;
height: 150px; /* shortened to fit in the "Run" window */
overflow: hidden;
background: lightgrey;
}
.block .hidden {
background: red;
padding: 3px 10px;
position: absolute;
bottom: 0;
right: -100%;
transition: 1s;
}
.block:hover .hidden {
right: 0;
transition: 1s;
}
<div class="block">
<div class="hidden">ABCDEFGHIJKL</div>
</div>

For transition to work, you have to define the property you wish to change in both element states.
In your example it doesn't work because there is no common property between '.hidden' and ':hover' (you set the 'left' property in '.hidden', and 'right' property in ':hover')
If you instead use something like:
.block {
position: relative;
width: 500px;
height: 300px;
overflow: hidden;
background: lightgrey;
}
.block .hidden {
background: red;
padding: 3px 10px;
position: absolute;
bottom: 0;
right: -100%;
transition: 1s;
}
.block:hover .hidden {
transition: 1s;
right: 0%;
}
It will work because we defined the 'right' property in both states ('.hidden' and ':hover')
