Checkboxes won't render without label, and label needs to be in the right place
See original GitHub issueI’ve noticed that checkboxes only appear if they are coded like this:
<input type="checkbox" id="checkboxid"><label for="checkboxid">Yes?</label>
These do not work:
<input type="checkbox" id="checkboxid">
<label for="checkboxid">Yes?</label><input type="checkbox" id="checkboxid">
<label>Yes?<input type="checkbox" id="checkboxid"></label>
<label><input type="checkbox" id="checkboxid">Yes?</label>
Thanks!

👍 Same problem here. Why does the whole checkbox disappear if there is no label? I don’t want my checkboxes to have a label… I can’t even use the class ‘browser-default’ to make a regular html checkbox appear…
