Checkboxes bug :/

Hi there !

Today bootstraps provides a code for "custom styled checkboxes" different from the one used in the video

you can find it here : https://getbootstrap.com/docs/4.0/components/forms/#checkboxes-and-radios-1 , but i wrote it just below:

<div class="custom-control custom-checkbox"> <input type="checkbox" class="custom-control-input" id="customCheck1"> <label class="custom-control-label" for="customCheck1">Check this custom checkbox</label> </div>

when i copy/paste it, it seems it doesn't display the checkbox anymore, only the text. Can someone explain me why?

Hi,

it is because the workspace uses the beta-version of bootstrap 4 as default.

if you change your css-file in the header to :

<link href="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/4.0.0/css/bootstrap.min.css" rel="stylesheet" integrity="sha384-Gn5384xqQ1aoWXA+058RXPxPg6fy4IWvTNh0E263XmFcJlSAwiGgFAW/dAiS6JXm" crossorigin="anonymous">

the "new" way of making custom checkboxes works fine.

The videos were created before the official release, I think they use the "alpha" release. This is probably one of the changes made in creating the release version of Bootstrap 4.

I'd bet a 3rd revision of this course is already in the works.
