how to extend a tickbox or checkbox to the text so that the text become clickable

Hi

So I decided to create a complete survey from scratch to train on html/ css / php mysql. right now I am working on the layout. 2 questions about that :

  • what kind of type of tag do I need to use I thought of "form" with check boxes.
  • I want the check box to be actually the text to select

ex : what fruit do you like? apple banana orange

I want the people to be able to click on the fruit directly.

thanks a lot !

PS : I would do that in CSS but cannot find how :/

Using for in your label will make it clickable and point to the id of the checkbox or input.

<label for="checkboxid">Hey</label>
<input type="checkbox" id="checkboxid" value="hey">
