Unchecking of the checked checkboxes on another button click - javascript

I want the checked checkboxes to be unchecked when clicking another button:
Below is the HTML
<input type="checkbox" name="checkb" id="Agent" value="Agent"> type=Agent
<br />
<input type="checkbox" name="checkb" id="Customer" value="Customer"> type=Customer
<br />
<input type="checkbox" name="checkb" id="Phone" value="Phone"> type=Phone
<br />
<input type="checkbox" name="checkb" id="ID_Card" value="ID_Card"> type=ID_Card
<br />
<input type=datetime id="Start_Date" value="" placeholder="Start_Date" />
<input type=datetime id="End_Date" value="" placeholder="End_Date" />
<button id="date">
Interval
</button>
On clicking of the Interval button if any checkboxes are checked they should get unchecked.
Below is the event listener for the Interval button:
var check1 = document.getElementById("Agent");
var check2 = document.getElementById("Customer");
var check3 = document.getElementById("Phone");
var check4 = document.getElementById("ID_Card");
var newBtn = document.getElementById("date");
if (newBtn) {
newBtn.addEventListener("click", function() {
if (check1.checked) {
var ischecked1 = check1.checked;
check1.checked != ischecked1;
}
if (check2.checked) {
var ischecked2 = check2.checked;
check2.checked != ischecked2;
}
if (check3.checked) {
var ischecked3 = check3.checked;
check3.checked != ischecked3;
}
if (check4.checked) {
var ischecked4 = check4.checked;
check4.checked != ischecked4;
}
});
}
Below code runs without any errors, but the boxes do not get unchecked if they are checked.
Below is the fiddle

Your statements are just evaluating as booleans, not performing assignments:
check1.checked != ischecked1; // this returns a boolean, doesn't do any assignment
You want to do this to toggle the checked state:
check1.checked = !ischecked1;
Same thing for other checkboxes.
There's also no need to create the extra variables, you can just do the toggling and reading directly:
check1.checked = !check1.checked;
Since you're only toggling checkboxes when they are checked, you can just directly set them to false as well.
if (check1.checked) check1.checked = false;
Instead of having if statements, you can use array iteration to do the toggling:
[check1, check2, check3, check4].forEach(check => {
if (check.checked) {
check.checked = false;
}
});
// or query the checkboxes directly and do the same
[...document.querySelectorAll('input[type="checkbox"]')].forEach(check => {
if (check.checked) {
check.checked = false;
}
});

Your mistake is in this line:
check1.checked != ischecked1;
This actually means "compare if check1.checked is not equal to ischecked1".
Most simple solution would be to remove the if statement and just do this:
check1.checked = !check1.checked
This means "set check1.checked to the opposite of check1.checked".
Since all checkboxes have the same name you could also collect all checkboxes by requesting them by name and use a loop to walk through them. A small example:
// Collect all checkboxes with a CSS selector that matches all input
// elements with a name attribute that's equal to "checkb"
var checkboxes = document.querySelectorAll('input[name="checkb"]');
var newBtn = document.getElementById("date");
if (newBtn) {
newBtn.addEventListener("click", function() {
// this is a for loop, it will run for as long as i
// is smaller than the amount of found checkboxes (checkboxes.length)
for(var i = 0; i < checkboxes.length; i++) {
// Get the checkbox from the checkboxes collection
// collection[i] means get item from collection with index i
var checkbox = checkboxes[i];
// Revert the .checked property of the checkbox
checkbox.checked = !checkbox.checked;
}
});
}

By the looks of it you just want to uncheck everything on click of button
you can just do this
var newBtn = document.getElementById("date");
if (newBtn) {
newBtn.addEventListener("click", function() {
document.getElementById("Agent").checked =
document.getElementById("Customer").checked =
document.getElementById("Phone").checked =
document.getElementById("ID_Card").checked = false;
});
}

Display value of multiple selected checkboxes [duplicate]

This question already has answers here:
Getting multiple values from checked checkboxes Javascript
(3 answers)
Closed 3 months ago.
I am trying to display multiple checkbox values in a separate DIV to show the results of the checkboxes to the user. But I also want to remove the value if the user de-selects the checkbox. This is the code I have so far but can only display/hide one value at a time. For example, if I click checkboxes a, b, and c, it will show all values. But If I uncheck, they will hide. Thanks
<input onchange="selectArr(this)" type="checkbox" name="accessory" value="a"/>
<input onchange="selectArr(this)" type="checkbox" name="accessory" value="b"/>
<input onchange="selectArr(this)" type="checkbox" name="accessory" value="c"/>
<div id="acc"></div>
function selectAcc(cb) {
var x = cb.checked ? cb.value : '';
document.getElementById("acc").innerHTML = x;
}
// selecting input type checkboxes
const inputCheckBoxes = document.querySelectorAll("input[type=checkbox]");
const main = document.querySelector("#main");
// function to print in main div
const printCheckedValue = (array) => {
main.innerText = "";
array.forEach(value => {
main.innerText += value;
})
}
// to store checkboxed values
let checkedValue = [];
// looping through all inputcheckboxes and attching onchange event
Object.values(inputCheckBoxes).forEach((inputCheckBoxe, index) => {
inputCheckBoxe.onchange = (e) => {
// checking if value is checkedbox or not
if (checkedValue.includes(e.target.value)) {
// if checkeboxed than filtering array
checkedValue = checkedValue.filter(val => val != e.target.value)
printCheckedValue(checkedValue);
} else {
checkedValue.push(e.target.value);
printCheckedValue(checkedValue);
}
}
})
<input type="checkbox" name="accessory" value="a" />
<input type="checkbox" name="accessory" value="b" />
<input type="checkbox" name="accessory" value="c" />
<div id="main"></div>
Hope this works for you .
function selectAcc(cb) {
// get previous div value
var previousValue = document.getElementById("acc").getAttribute('value');
var newValue = previousValue;
//store the new clicked value
var value = cb.value;
// if the new value is checked and the value is not present in the div add it to the div string value
if (cb.checked && !previousValue.includes(value)) newValue+=value ;
// else remove the value from div string value
else previousValue = newValue.replace(value, '');
// update new value in div
document.getElementById("acc").innerHTML = newValue;
}
Try put like something this
var checked = []
function selectAcc(cb) {
if(cb.checked){
checked.push(cb.value)
} else {
var index = checked.indexOf(cb.value)
checked.splice(index, 1)
}
document.getElementById("acc").innerHTML = checked.join(' ');
}

Get value from textbox based on checkbox on change event

I have two textboxes and one checkbox in a form.
I need to create a function javascript function for copy the first txtbox value to second textbox on checkbox change event.
I use the following code but its shows null on first time checkbox true.
function ShiptoBill()
{
var billing = document.getElementById("txtbilling").value;
var shipping = document.getElementById("txtshipping").value;
var check = // here i got checkbox checked or not
if(check == true)
{
// here I need to add the txtbilling value to txtshipping
}
}
Given that form controls can be accessed as named properties of the form, you can get a reference to the form from the checkbox, then conditionally set the value of txtshipping to the value of txtbilling depending on whether it's checked or not, e.g.:
<form>
<input name="txtbilling" value="foo"><br>
<input name="txtshipping" readonly><br>
<input name="sameas" type="checkbox" onclick="
this.form.txtshipping.value = this.checked? this.form.txtbilling.value : '';
"><br>
<input type="reset">
</form>
Of course you might want to set the listener dynamically, the above just provides a hint. You could also conditionally copy the contents over if the user changes them and the checkbox is checked, so a change event listener on txtbilling may be required too.
Try like following.
function ShiptoBill() {
var billing = document.getElementById("txtbilling");
var shipping = document.getElementById("txtshipping");
var check = document.getElementById("checkboxId").checked;
if (check == true) {
shipping.value = billing.value;
} else {
shipping.value = '';
}
}
<input type="text" id="txtbilling" />
<input type="text" id="txtshipping" />
<input type="checkbox" onchange="ShiptoBill()" id="checkboxId" />
function ShiptoBill()
{
var billing = document.getElementById("txtbilling");
var shipping = document.getElementById("txtshipping");
var check = document.getElementById("checkboxId").checked; // replace 'checkboxId' with your checkbox 'id'
if (check == true)
{
shipping.value = billing.value;
}
}
To get the event when it changes, do
$('#checkbox1').on('change',function() {
if($(this).checked) {
$('#input2').val($('#input1').val());
}
});
This checks for the checkbox to have a change, then checks if it is checked. If it is, it places the value of Input Box 1 into the value of Input Box 2.
EDIT: Here's a pure JS solution, and a JSBin too.
function ShiptoBill()
{
var billing = document.getElementById("txtbilling").value;
var shipping = document.getElementById("txtshipping").value;
var check = document.getElementById("thischeck").checked;
console.log(check);
if(check == true)
{
console.log('checked');
document.getElementById("txtshipping").value = billing;
} else {
console.log('not checked');
}
}
with
<input id="thischeck" type="checkbox" onclick="ShiptoBill()">

Add checkbox value to another hidden input field if first hidden field has content

I have a group of 4 checkboxes.
When any two have been checked they have their values copied to two hidden input fields.
The first checked checkbox value goes to the first input id="checkedBox1"
How do I get the second checked checkbox value to go to the second hidden input field id="checkedBox2"
I have used the JavaScript function below to place the values into each input from the individual checkboxes but can't figure out how to iterate through the list of all four checkboxes and place the two checked ones into each separate input field.
Checkboxes:
<input type="checkbox" value="test1" id="a" name="one"><label>Test11</label>
<input type="checkbox" value="test2" id="b" name="one"><label>Test12</label>
<input type="checkbox" value="test3" id="c" name="one"><label>Test13</label>
<input type="checkbox" value="test4" id="d" name="one"><label>Test14</label>
<input type="hidden" value="" id="checkedBox1">
<input type="hidden" value="" id="checkedBox2">
<script>
function populate() {
var checkboxes = document.getElementsByName('one');
var ip1 = document.getElementById('checkedBox1');
var ip2 = document.getElementById('checkedBox2');
// clear current values
ip1.value = ip2.value = '';
var first = false;
var second = false;
// Loop over checkboxes,stop when found 2 that are checked
for (var i=0,iLen=checkboxes.length; i<iLen || !(first && second); i++) {
if (checkboxes[i].checked) {
if (!first) {
ip1.value = checkboxes[i].value;
first = true;
} else if (!second) {
ip2.value = checkboxes[i].value;
second = true;
}
}
}
}
$('input[type="checkbox"]').on('change', function() {
populate();
}).change();
</script>
You could try plain JS, though I would use form property access rather than getElementsByName or getElementById:
function populate() {
var checkboxes = document.getElementsByName('one');
var ip1 = document.getElementById('checkedBox1');
var ip2 = document.getElementById('checkedBox2');
// clear current values
ip1.value = ip2.value = '';
var first = false;
var second = false;
// Loop over checkboxes,stop when found 2 that are checked
for (var i=0,iLen=checkboxes.length; i<iLen || !(first && second); i++) {
if (checkboxes[i].checked) {
if (!first) {
ip1.value = checkboxes[i].value;
first = true;
} else if (!second) {
ip2.value = checkboxes[i].value;
second = true;
}
}
}
}
Edit
Thanks Mal, added a line to clear the values of the hidden inputs each time.

Javascript checkbox onChange

I have a checkbox in a form and I'd like it to work according to following scenario:
if someone checks it, the value of a textfield (totalCost) should be set to 10.
then, if I go back and uncheck it, a function calculate() sets the value of totalCost according to other parameters in the form.
So basically, I need the part where, when I check the checkbox I do one thing and when I uncheck it, I do another.
Pure javascript:
const checkbox = document.getElementById('myCheckbox')
checkbox.addEventListener('change', (event) => {
if (event.currentTarget.checked) {
alert('checked');
} else {
alert('not checked');
}
})
My Checkbox: <input id="myCheckbox" type="checkbox" />
function calc()
{
if (document.getElementById('xxx').checked)
{
document.getElementById('totalCost').value = 10;
} else {
calculate();
}
}
HTML
<input type="checkbox" id="xxx" name="xxx" onclick="calc();"/>
If you are using jQuery.. then I can suggest the following:
NOTE: I made some assumption here
$('#my_checkbox').click(function(){
if($(this).is(':checked')){
$('input[name="totalCost"]').val(10);
} else {
calculate();
}
});
Use an onclick event, because every click on a checkbox actually changes it.
The following solution makes use of jquery. Let's assume you have a checkbox with id of checkboxId.
const checkbox = $("#checkboxId");
checkbox.change(function(event) {
var checkbox = event.target;
if (checkbox.checked) {
//Checkbox has been checked
} else {
//Checkbox has been unchecked
}
});
HTML:
<input type="checkbox" onchange="handleChange(event)">
JS:
function handleChange(e) {
const {checked} = e.target;
}
Reference the checkbox by it's id and not with the #
Assign the function to the onclick attribute rather than using the change attribute
var checkbox = $("save_" + fieldName);
checkbox.onclick = function(event) {
var checkbox = event.target;
if (checkbox.checked) {
//Checkbox has been checked
} else {
//Checkbox has been unchecked
}
};
Javascript
// on toggle method
// to check status of checkbox
function onToggle() {
// check if checkbox is checked
if (document.querySelector('#my-checkbox').checked) {
// if checked
console.log('checked');
} else {
// if unchecked
console.log('unchecked');
}
}
HTML
<input id="my-checkbox" type="checkbox" onclick="onToggle()">
try
totalCost.value = checkbox.checked ? 10 : calculate();
function change(checkbox) {
totalCost.value = checkbox.checked ? 10 : calculate();
}
function calculate() {
return other.value*2;
}
input { display: block}
Checkbox: <input type="checkbox" onclick="change(this)"/>
Total cost: <input id="totalCost" type="number" value=5 />
Other: <input id="other" type="number" value=7 />
I know this seems like noob answer but I'm putting it here so that it can help others in the future.
Suppose you are building a table with a foreach loop. And at the same time adding checkboxes at the end.
<!-- Begin Loop-->
<tr>
<td><?=$criteria?></td>
<td><?=$indicator?></td>
<td><?=$target?></td>
<td>
<div class="form-check">
<input type="checkbox" class="form-check-input" name="active" value="<?=$id?>" <?=$status?'checked':''?>>
<!-- mark as 'checked' if checkbox was selected on a previous save -->
</div>
</td>
</tr>
<!-- End of Loop -->
You place a button below the table with a hidden input:
<form method="post" action="/goalobj-review" id="goalobj">
<!-- we retrieve saved checkboxes & concatenate them into a string separated by commas.i.e. $saved_data = "1,2,3"; -->
<input type="hidden" name="result" id="selected" value="<?= $saved_data ?>>
<button type="submit" class="btn btn-info" form="goalobj">Submit Changes</button>
</form>
You can write your script like so:
<script type="text/javascript">
var checkboxes = document.getElementsByClassName('form-check-input');
var i;
var tid = setInterval(function () {
if (document.readyState !== "complete") {
return;
}
clearInterval(tid);
for(i=0;i<checkboxes.length;i++){
checkboxes[i].addEventListener('click',checkBoxValue);
}
},100);
function checkBoxValue(event) {
var selected = document.querySelector("input[id=selected]");
var result = 0;
if(this.checked) {
if(selected.value.length > 0) {
result = selected.value + "," + this.value;
document.querySelector("input[id=selected]").value = result;
} else {
result = this.value;
document.querySelector("input[id=selected]").value = result;
}
}
if(! this.checked) {
// trigger if unchecked. if checkbox is marked as 'checked' from a previous saved is deselected, this will also remove its corresponding value from our hidden input.
var compact = selected.value.split(","); // split string into array
var index = compact.indexOf(this.value); // return index of our selected checkbox
compact.splice(index,1); // removes 1 item at specified index
var newValue = compact.join(",") // returns a new string
document.querySelector("input[id=selected]").value = newValue;
}
}
</script>
The ids of your checkboxes will be submitted as a string "1,2" within the result variable. You can then break it up at the controller level however you want.

how to uncheck checkboxes with javascript

I have the following code. I need to see how many checkboxes have been checked in my form and if there are more than four display error and uncheck the last check box,everything is working but how can I uncheck the last check box, thanks
function SetHiddenFieldValue()
{
var checks = document.getElementById('toppings').getElementsByTagName('input');
var toppings = new Array();
var randomNumber = Math.floor((Math.random() * 9000) + 100);
var totalChecked = 0;
var itemPrice = 5.99;
for (i = 0; i < checks.length; i++)
{
if (checks[i].checked)
{
toppings[i] = checks[i].value;
totalChecked += 1;
}
}
if (totalChecked > 4) {
alert("You can only choose up to Max of 4 Toppings");
} else {
itemPrice = itemPrice + (totalChecked * 0.99);
document.getElementById('my-item-name').value = toppings.join("\t");
document.getElementById('my-item-id').value = randomNumber;
document.getElementById('my-item-price').value = itemPrice;
}
}
And my form is:
<form id="pizza" name="pizza" method="post" action="" class="jcart">
<input type="hidden" name="my-item-id" id="my-item-id" value="" />
<input type="hidden" name="my-item-name" id="my-item-name" value="" />
<input type="hidden" name="my-item-price" id="my-item-price" value="" />
<input type="hidden" name="my-item-qty" value="1" />
<input type="submit" name="my-add-button" value=" add " />
</form>
I think that I would handle this differently. I'd have a click handler on each checkbox that counts the number of checked boxes (including the current if it is being checked) to see if it is greater than 4. If it is, then I would stop the current event, pop the alert, and reset the state of the checkbox causing the alert. This way it would always popup when clicking the fourth checkbox.
To handle the case where javascript is disabled, you'd need to make sure that your server-side code validates that no more than 4 checkboxes have been checked.
JQuery example:
$(':checkbox').click( function() {
if ($(this).val() == 'on') { // need to count, since we are checking this box
if ($(':checkbox:checked').length > 4) {
alert( "You can only choose up to a maximum of 4 toppings." );
$(this).val('off');
}
}
});
Note if you had other types of checkboxes on the page you could use a class to distinguish them. In that case, the selector becomes (':checkbox.topping') and (':checkbox.topping:checked').
Keep track of the last checked checkbox and set its checked property to false:
// ...
var lastChecked; // Will be used in loop below
for (i = 0; i < checks.length; i++)
{
if (checks[i].checked)
{
toppings[i] = checks[i].value;
totalChecked += 1;
lastChecked = i; // Store the checkbox as last checked
}
}
if (totalChecked > 4) {
alert("You can only choose up to Max of 4 Toppings");
checks[lastChecked].checked = false; // Uncheck the last checked checkbox
} else {
// ...
If you want to uncheck all but the four first ones, do it like this:
// ...
for (i = 0; i < checks.length; i++)
{
if (checks[i].checked)
{
toppings[i] = checks[i].value;
totalChecked += 1;
if (totalChecked > 4) checks[i].checked = false; // Uncheck checkbox
}
}
Well you'll need to somehow pass into this method which particular checkbox was just checked, and then if the total checked count test fails, then just set that checkbox's .checked property to false.
What if the user checked more than five?
One way to do it is create a javascript function that returns false if more than four checkboxes are checked. In each checkbox, hook the new function like this:
<input type="checkbox" onclick="return myNewFunction(this);">
This will inhibit the user from checking any checkbox that is the fifth one.
Alternatively, you could prevent the user from making an invalid action in the first place, by disabling all the other boxes once four of them are checked, and displaying a message like "Choose up to four of these." This way, you don't let the user do something you know is invalid and then scold them.
