xavadu picture xavadu · Feb 27, 2014 · Viewed 20.2k times · Source

I want to use iCheck library: https://github.com/fronteed/iCheck http://fronteed.com/iCheck/

When i init the element with the library it get warped like the documentation describe https://github.com/fronteed/iCheck/#how-it-works but with opacity zero.

You can see it here: http://jsfiddle.net/buRq7/8/

$(".ex-f").iCheck();

somebody have the same issue?

Thanks

My code is:

I found that the problem was with the CSS file, if it is not loaded the component is not showed, a working example:

http://jsfiddle.net/SUTMf/1/

$(document).ready(function(){ $('input').iCheck({ checkboxClass: 'icheckbox_flat-blue', radioClass: 'iradio_square', increaseArea: '20%' // optional }); });
