</div>About Elevator Level Selector
Elevator Level Selector is a checkbox built with gradient fills and layered shadows. Its stylesheet runs to 64 lines across 9 rules, declaring 22 distinct properties. It styles checked state explicitly, so the component responds to interaction rather than sitting still. Every format shown on this page is the same component, so you can take HTML, CSS and Tailwind depending on how your project is set up. Nothing is minified and nothing depends on a framework.
When to use
- Settings panels and forms, where state has to read at a glance, where a city and elevator checkbox fits the surrounding design
- Repeated use across a page, since there is no animation to become tiring when several appear together
- Palettes built around gold, gray and white, where this checkbox can be dropped in without retheming
- Places where one control is meant to be memorable, since 64 lines of CSS is a real investment for a single element
How it works
The base rule sets the shape with border-radius, display, height and padding. The fill is a gradient rather than a flat colour, so it is a single background declaration with no image to load. State changes are eased with a transition, so hovering does not snap.
Accessibility
Built on a native <input> element, so keyboard focus and screen reader semantics work without extra attributes. No focus style is defined. Add one before shipping, or keyboard users lose track of position. That is one thing to fix before this ships in front of users.
Browser support
Everything this component uses has been supported across browsers for years, so no fallback is needed.
