</div>About Chart Updating
Chart Updating is a toggle switch built with a keyframe animation, gradient fills and layered shadows. Its stylesheet runs to 108 lines across 20 rules, declaring 26 distinct properties. It styles checked state explicitly, so the component responds to interaction rather than sitting still. The animation is driven by a keyframe sequence named chart-update, which you can retime or remove without touching the rest of the styling. 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
- Preference screens, where the control is switched more often than it is read, where a business and professional toggle switch fits the surrounding design
- A single prominent toggle switch rather than a row of them, since the chart-update animation runs continuously and several at once compete with each other
- Palettes built around blue, orange and gray, where this toggle switch can be dropped in without retheming
- Places where one control is meant to be memorable, since 108 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 position. 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. The looping motion comes from chart-update. Changing the animation-duration is usually the only edit needed to make it faster or calmer.
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. Animates without a prefers-reduced-motion guard. Wrap the animation in that query if motion sensitivity matters to your audience. Those are 2 things 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.
