CSS selector for asp.net checkbox

Question

What is the correct CSS selector for ASP.net checkboxes?

I tried input[type="checkbox"] + label , input[type="checkbox"] and input itself but none can select the checkbox.

ASP.NET CheckBox control produces HTML with input tag with type checkbox, so there should be no problem with standard CSS selectors.

I have copied a HTML produced by W3Schools example of using CheckBox control and tried input[type="checkbox"] + label selector and it worked - check this fiddle.

With this being said, I think your problem is somewhere else and you should carefully check yout code.

W3Schools is not W3C. Please don't get the two mixed up.

You don't need the quotes in the type argument.

To get the checkbox itself,

input[type=checkbox]

To get the label text,

input[type=checkbox] + label

You don't need them, but that doesn't mean you can't have them there.
