Pure-CSS3-Star-Wars-Lightsaber-Checkboxes

Pure CSS3 Star Wars Lightsaber Checkboxes. This is a quick fun little project built to demonstrate the power behind CSS3, and an awesome little checkbox hack (:checked ~ div). Not "too" practical for UI/UX, but overall some cool code.

Please attribute.

Special thanks to Skateside for finding some cross-browser fixes.
