Problem with checkbox, :checked and table cells

    My code is not working. It should work when the checkbox is checked or unchecked.

    How could I get this code to change the background color of all cells which class is "name1"?

    CSS code:

    .player1-checkbox ~ td.name1 {
    background-color: blue;
    }
    
    .player1-checkbox:checked ~ td.name1 {
    background-color: orange;
    }
    Code (CSS):

    HTML code:

    <input type="checkbox" id="player1" class="player1-checkbox" />
    
    <table class="chart">
      <tr><td class="name">Ny Name</td><tr>
      <tr><td class="name name1"><label for="player1">FIRST LAST</label></td></tr>
      <tr><td>&nbsp;</td></tr>
      <tr><td class="cup left name1"><label for="player1">FIRST LAST</label></td>
    </table>
    HTML:

    CSS code:

    .player1-checkbox ~ table tr td.name1 {
    background-color: blue;
    }
    
    .player1-checkbox:checked ~ table tr td.name1 {
    background-color: orange;
    }

    You shouldn't bastardize classes in this way.

    td class="cup left name1"
    Code (markup):
    @deathshadow said it best ->
    "This type of nonsense reaches the pinnacle of stupidity with CSS frameworks or worse, the so called "Object Oriented CSS" (OOCSS). By their very nature they create presentational markup -- if you don't know what's wrong with code like this:

    <div class="leftCol thirdwidth colorRed sectionHeight bigText">
    Code (markup):
    Do the world a favor and go do something harmless like macramé."

    Really the "classes for nothing" are just the tip of the iceberg of problems here... like what in blazes makes a label and a input be tabular data; much less if you only have one TD per TR what the huff are you even using a table FOR?!?
