Thanks, but actually I can, as long as I have the #expand* in the CSS - is there not a way in CSS to make a range say #expand[1-10]?

Thanks again!

Well,   what  I do is code this snippet...
Code: [Select]
#expand1:checked ~ table tbody tr:nth-of-type(2) ul,

...using my digits and the keyboard,  and C&P it.

I then  increase the value of #expand by 1 and
change the value of type() to suit.

I repeat this process until  I have the desired
number of items. Finally I remove trailing
comma of this last item.

In the HTML I numbered all the tr elements to
help with the type() value changing.

That's about as dynamic as get.  ;D

Of course, you must bear in mind that, unlike
many others, I have nothing better to do.  8)

Sorry to raise such an old topic, but the issue didn't seem worthy of raising a new topic but

CodePen

Trying to get the text to change, depending on the checkbox being selected/unselected...

it has been a long week and I am having a mental block again...

Hi there GYM,

change this..
Code: [Select]
    <label for="toggle" class="toggleText"></label>
    <input type="checkbox" id="toggle" name="group">

...to this...
Code: [Select]
   <input type="checkbox" id="toggle" name="group">
   <label for="toggle" class="toggleText"></label>

...with this slightly amended CSS...
Code: [Select]
html,
body {
    height: 100%;
    padding: 0;
    margin: 0;
}

body {
    background: #000;
    color: greenyellow;
    font: normal 1em "Verdana";
    display: flex;
    flex-direction: column;
}

input {
    display:none;
}

header,
footer {
    flex: 0;
    padding: 0.5em 0;
}

main {
    flex: 1;
}

#content {
    display:none;
    border: 1px solid red;
    border-radius: 0.5em;
    background: #222;
    margin: 1em;
    padding: 0.5em;
}

#toggle:checked ~ #content {
    display: block;
}

.toggleText::before {
    content: "show"
}

#toggle:checked ~ .toggleText::before {
    content: "Hide";
 }

.toggleText {
    cursor: pointer;
 }

.toggleText:hover,
.toggleText:active {
    color: red;
 }

Thank You!! :D

So I should have done it via ID basically? and switched the label and input around - the input first?

No, the real problem was the order of the label and input elements.
The order needed to be reversed.

I only removed  a few unnecessary  CSS properties...
Code: [Select]
#toggle:not(:checked) ~ #content {
    display: none;
}

#toggle:not(:checked) ~ .toggleText label::before {
    content: "Show";
}

Another strange problem, I can only get left padding so to get top and bottom padding do I need to create a container and pad that?

You do not mention the element to which you
wish to apply top and bottom padding.   ::)

If you were referring  to...
Code: [Select]
    <div id="content">

...then this...
Code: [Select]
#content {
    display: none;
    border: 1px solid lightskyblue;
    border-radius: 0.75em;
    background: #222;
    margin: 1em;
    padding: 2em 0.5em;
}

...worked OK for me.

I'm so sorry, that is what you get for using your phone and then getting distracted, I refer to the padding on the "show" and "hide" options.

Hi the GYM,

the label element is by default an inline element
The cure is to simply change that property, thus...
Code: [Select]
.toggleText {
    display: block;
    padding: 1em;
    cursor: pointer;
}

I cannot agree.  :)

You should always feel free to ask questions
when the time is  exactly right for you.
