I have a list of checkboxes, and I need to disable my submit button if none of them are checked, and enable it as soon as at least one gets checked. I see lots of advice for doing this with just a single checkbox, but I'm hung up on getting it to work with multiple checkboxes. I want to use javascript for this project, even though I know there are a bunch of answers for jquery. Here's what I've got - it works for the first checkbox, but not the second.
HTML:
<input type="checkbox" id="checkme"/> Option1<br>
<input type="checkbox" id="checkme"/> Option2<br>
<input type="checkbox" id="checkme"/> Option3<br>
<input type="submit" name="sendNewSms" class="inputButton" disabled="disabled" id="sendNewSms" value=" Send " />
Javascript:
var checker = document.getElementById('checkme');
var sendbtn = document.getElementById('sendNewSms');
// when unchecked or checked, run the function
checker.onchange = function(){
if(this.checked){
sendbtn.disabled = false;
} else {
sendbtn.disabled = true;
}
}
I'd group your inputs in a container and watch that for events using addEventListener. Then loop through the checkboxes, checking their status. Finally set the button to disabled unless our criteria is met.
var checks = document.getElementsByName('checkme');
var checkBoxList = document.getElementById('checkBoxList');
var sendbtn = document.getElementById('sendNewSms');
function allTrue(nodeList) {
for (var i = 0; i < nodeList.length; i++) {
if (nodeList[i].checked === false) return false;
}
return true;
}
checkBoxList.addEventListener('click', function(event) {
sendbtn.disabled = true;
if (allTrue(checks)) sendbtn.disabled = false;
});
<div id="checkBoxList">
<input type="checkbox" name="checkme"/> Option1<br>
<input type="checkbox" name="checkme"/> Option2<br>
<input type="checkbox" name="checkme"/> Option3<br>
</div>
<input type="submit" name="sendNewSms" class="inputButton" disabled="disabled" id="sendNewSms" value=" Send " />
html
<input type="checkbox" class="checkme"/> Option1<br>
<input type="checkbox" class="checkme"/> Option2<br>
<input type="checkbox" class="checkme"/> Option3<br>
<input type="submit" name="sendNewSms" class="inputButton" disabled="disabled" id="sendNewSms" value=" Send " />
js
var checkerArr = document.getElementsByClassName('checkme');
var sendbtn = document.getElementById('sendNewSms');
// when unchecked or checked, run the function
for (var i = 0; i < checkerArr.length; i++) {
checkerArr[i].onchange = function() {
if(this.checked){
sendbtn.disabled = false;
} else {
sendbtn.disabled = true;
}
}
}
I guess this code will help you
window.onload=function(){
var checkboxes = document.getElementsByClassName('checkbox')
var sendbtn = document.getElementById('sendNewSms');
var length=checkboxes.length;
for(var i=0;i<length;i++){
var box=checkboxes[i];
var isChecked=box.checked;
box.onchange=function(){
sendbtn.disabled=isChecked?true:false;
}
}
// when unchecked or checked, run the function
}
<input type="checkbox" id="check1" class="checkbox"/> Option1<br>
<input type="checkbox" id="check2" class="checkbox"/> Option2<br>
<input type="checkbox" id="check3" class="checkbox"/> Option3<br>
<input type="submit" name="sendNewSms" class="inputButton" disabled="disabled" id="sendNewSms" value=" Send " />
Few suggestions
1.Always id should be unique. HTML does not show any error, if you give multiple objects with the same id but when you try to get it by document.getelementbyid it always return the first one,because getelementbyid returns a single element
when there is such requirement, you should consider having a classname or searching through the element name because getelementsbyclassname/tag returns an array
Here in the markup i have added an extra class to query using getelementsbyclassname
To avoid adding extra class, you can also consider doing it by document.querySelectorAll
check the following snippet
window.onload=function(){
var checkboxes = document.querySelectorAll('input[type=checkbox]')
var sendbtn = document.getElementById('sendNewSms');
var length=checkboxes.length;
for(var i=0;i<length;i++){
var box=checkboxes[i];
var isChecked=box.checked;
box.onchange=function(){
sendbtn.disabled=isChecked?true:false;
}
}
// when unchecked or checked, run the function
}
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<input type="checkbox" id="check1" /> Option1<br>
<input type="checkbox" id="check2" /> Option2<br>
<input type="checkbox" id="check3" /> Option3<br>
<input type="submit" name="sendNewSms" class="inputButton" disabled="disabled" id="sendNewSms" value=" Send " />
Hope this helps
Something like this would do. I'm sure you can do it with less code, but I am still a JavaScript beginner. :)
HTML
<input type="checkbox" class="checkme" data-id="checkMe1"/> Option1<br>
<input type="checkbox" class="checkme" data-id="checkMe2"/> Option2<br>
<input type="checkbox" class="checkme" data-id="checkMe3"/> Option3<br>
<input type="submit" name="sendNewSms" class="inputButton" disabled="disabled" id="sendNewSms" value=" Send " />
JavaScript
//keep the checkbox states, to reduce access to the DOM
var buttonStatus = {
checkMe1: false,
checkMe2: false,
checkMe1: false
};
//get the handles to the elements
var sendbtn = document.getElementById('sendNewSms');
var checkBoxes = document.querySelectorAll('.checkme');
//add event listeners
for(var i = 0; i < checkBoxes.length; i++) {
checkBoxes[i].addEventListener('change', function() {
buttonStatus[this.getAttribute('data-id')] = this.checked;
updateSendButton();
});
}
//check if the button needs to be enabled or disabled,
//depending on the state of other checkboxes
function updateSendButton() {
//check through all the keys in the buttonStatus object
for (var key in buttonStatus) {
if (buttonStatus.hasOwnProperty(key)) {
if (buttonStatus[key] === true) {
//if at least one of the checkboxes are checked
//enable the sendbtn
sendbtn.disabled = false;
return;
}
}
}
//disable the sendbtn otherwise
sendbtn.disabled = true;
}
var check_opt = document.getElementsByClassName('checkit');
console.log(check_opt);
var btn = document.getElementById('sendNewSms');
function detect() {
btn.disabled = true;
for (var index = 0; index < check_opt.length; ++index) {
console.log(index);
if (check_opt[index].checked == true) {
console.log(btn);
btn.disabled = false;
}
}
}
window.onload = function() {
for (var i = 0; i < check_opt.length; i++) {
check_opt[i].addEventListener('click', detect)
}
// when unchecked or checked, run the function
}
<input type="checkbox" id="check1" class="checkit" />Option1
<br>
<input type="checkbox" id="check2" class="checkit" />Option2
<br>
<input type="checkbox" id="check3" class="checkit" />Option3

<input type="submit" name="sendNewSms" class="inputButton" disabled="true" id="sendNewSms" value=" Send " />
function toggle(source) {
checkboxes = document.getElementsByName('options[]');
for (var i = 0, n = checkboxes.length; i < n; i++) {
checkboxes[i].checked = source.checked;
}
}
<form class="unsubscribe_form" action="process.php" method="post">
<input type="checkbox" class="unsubscribe-checkbox" name="options[]" id="checkbox-1-1" value="Option1">
<label for="checkbox-1-1"></label>Option 1
<input type="checkbox" class="unsubscribe-checkbox" name="options[]" id="checkbox-1-2" value="Option2">
<label for="checkbox-1-2"></label>Option 2
<input type="checkbox" class="unsubscribe-checkbox" name="options[]" id="checkbox-1-3" value="Option2">
<label for="checkbox-1-3"></label>Option 3
<input type="checkbox" class="unsubscribe-checkbox" name="options[]" id="checkbox-1-4" value="Option3">

<input type="checkbox" class="unsubscribe-checkbox" id="checkbox-1-6" value="All" onClick="toggle(this)" />
<label for="checkbox-1-6"></label>All
<br>
<input type="submit" name="formSubmit" value="Unsubscribe" />
</form>
When I check the All checkbox, of course, it will mark all the checkboxes, but once I uncheck one checkbox, the All checkbox is still checked. This should be unchecked. How should I do that using JS?
You will need to add onchange event handlers to every checkbox and check inside if the "All" checkbox should be checked (all checkboxes are selected) or unchecked (at least one is deselected). For example like this:
var checkboxes = [].slice.call(document.getElementsByName('options[]')),
allCheckbox = document.querySelector('input[value="All"]');
checkboxes.forEach(function(checkbox) {
checkbox.onchange = function() {
if (!this.checked) {
allCheckbox.checked = false;
}
else {
var checked = checkboxes.filter(function(check) {
return check.checked;
});
if (checked.length === checkboxes.length) {
allCheckbox.checked = true;
}
}
};
});
function toggle(source) {
for (var i = 0, n = checkboxes.length; i < n; i++) {
checkboxes[i].checked = source.checked;
}
}
<form class="unsubscribe_form" action="process.php" method="post">
<input type="checkbox" class="unsubscribe-checkbox" name="options[]" id="checkbox-1-1" value="Option1">
<label for="checkbox-1-1"></label>Option 1
<input type="checkbox" class="unsubscribe-checkbox" name="options[]" id="checkbox-1-2" value="Option2">
<label for="checkbox-1-2"></label>Option 2
<input type="checkbox" class="unsubscribe-checkbox" name="options[]" id="checkbox-1-3" value="Option2">
<label for="checkbox-1-3"></label>Option 3
<input type="checkbox" class="unsubscribe-checkbox" name="options[]" id="checkbox-1-4" value="Option3">
<label for="checkbox-1-4"></label>Option 4
<input type="checkbox" class="unsubscribe-checkbox" name="options[]" id="checkbox-1-5" value="Option3">
<label for="checkbox-1-5"></label>Option 5
<input type="checkbox" class="unsubscribe-checkbox" id="checkbox-1-6" value="All" onClick="toggle(this)" />
<label for="checkbox-1-6"></label>All
</form>
Note that I converted checkboxes collection to array with [].slice.call in order to use convenient array methods. Simple for loops can be used instead.
I'd suggest the following:
function toggle() {
// getting a reference to all the 'name="option[]" elements:
var options = document.getElementsByName('options[]'),
// a reference to the 'all' checkbox:
all = document.getElementById('checkbox-1-6');
// if the changed checkbox is the 'all':
if (this === all) {
// we iterate over all the options checkboxes (using
// Array.prototype.forEach()):
Array.prototype.forEach.call(options, function(checkbox) {
// and we set their checked property to the checked property
// state of the 'all' checkbox:
checkbox.checked = all.checked;
});
} else {
// otherwise we set the 'all' checkbox to the state of
// the Boolean returned by Array.prototype.every(),
// which returns true if all checkboxes evaluate to
// the condition within the function, otherwise false:
all.checked = Array.prototype.every.call(options, function(checkbox) {
return checkbox.checked;
});
}
}
// getting a NodeList of all the elements of 'class="unsubscribe-checkbox"':
var options = document.querySelectorAll('.unsubscribe-checkbox');
// iterating over them, again with Array.prototype.forEach()
// and assigning a change event-listener, which will execute the
// name function:
Array.prototype.forEach.call(options, function(opt) {
opt.addEventListener('change', toggle);
});
function toggle() {
var options = document.getElementsByName('options[]'),
all = document.getElementById('checkbox-1-6');
if (this === all) {
Array.prototype.forEach.call(options, function(checkbox) {
checkbox.checked = all.checked;
});
} else {
all.checked = Array.prototype.every.call(options, function(checkbox) {
return checkbox.checked;
});
}
}
var options = document.querySelectorAll('.unsubscribe-checkbox');
Array.prototype.forEach.call(options, function(opt) {
opt.addEventListener('change', toggle);
});
<form class="unsubscribe_form" action="process.php" method="post">
<input type="checkbox" class="unsubscribe-checkbox" name="options[]" id="checkbox-1-1" value="Option1">
<label for="checkbox-1-1"></label>Option 1
<input type="checkbox" class="unsubscribe-checkbox" name="options[]" id="checkbox-1-2" value="Option2">
<label for="checkbox-1-2"></label>Option 2
<input type="checkbox" class="unsubscribe-checkbox" name="options[]" id="checkbox-1-3" value="Option2">
<label for="checkbox-1-3"></label>Option 3
<input type="checkbox" class="unsubscribe-checkbox" name="options[]" id="checkbox-1-4" value="Option3">
<label for="checkbox-1-4"></label>Option 4
<input type="checkbox" class="unsubscribe-checkbox" name="options[]" id="checkbox-1-5" value="Option3">
<label for="checkbox-1-5"></label>Option 5
<input type="checkbox" class="unsubscribe-checkbox" id="checkbox-1-6" value="All" />
<label for="checkbox-1-6"></label>All
<br>
<input type="submit" name="formSubmit" value="Unsubscribe" />
</form>
You may notice that I've removed the onClick attribute from the 'all' checkbox, in preference of unobtrusive JavaScript, where the event-handlers are assigned via the JavaScript itself (which ordinarily makes for more easily-maintained code, as the arguments to be passed to a given function are assigned in the code itself, rather than having to be separately updated in the HTML).
References:
Array.prototype.every().
Array.prototype.forEach().
document.getElementsByName().
document.getElementById().
document.querySelectorAll().
EventTarget.addEventListener().
Function.prototype.call().
I would like to build a javascript so a user can choose only one option between the the mentioned below. Could you give me some pointers how to do this since I am a javascript noob.
Thank you!
This is the picture of the part of a menu
<td><label for="dock_books_search_visible_online"> Visible online?</label></td>
<td><input type="checkbox" name="option" value="checkedVisibleOk" id="dock_books_visible_ok" /> </td>
<td><label for="dock_books_search_visible_online_yes"> Yes</label></td>
<td><input type="checkbox" name="option" value="checkedVisibleNok" id="dock_books_visible_nok" /> </td>
<td><label for="dock_books_search_visible_online_no"> No</label></td>
For single selection from multiple options we use Radio Buttons not CheckBoxes.
You should use some thing like this.
<input type="radio" name="option" value="Yes" id="yes" />
<input type="radio" name="option" value="No" id="no" />
But still if you want to go the other way round, Just add the following script in your head tag:
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.4.2/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script>
$(document).ready(function(){
$(':checkbox').bind('change', function() {
var thisClass = $(this).attr('class');
if ($(this).attr('checked')) {
$(':checkbox.' + thisClass + ":not(#" + this.id + ")").removeAttr('checked');
}
else {
$(this).attr('checked', 'checked');
}
});
});
</script>
Here is the fiddle for above.
Hope this helps.
This looks like a job for radio buttons, not checkboxes.
you got a point to use radio buttons any way here is the javascript solution
i used it in my project when there is search criteria and search result in data grid by
ajax having 13 records when i check one record it disables the rest
code for javascript enable disable check boxes jsfiddle
<form name="mainForm" method="GET">
Visible online?
<input type="checkbox" name="option" value="checkedVisibleOk" id="option" onclick="changeCheckBox();"/>
yes
<input type="checkbox" name="option" value="checkedVisibleNok" id="option" onclick="changeCheckBox();"/>
no
</form>
<script>
var serNoChecked="";
function changeCheckBox() {
try {
var max = document.mainForm.option.length;
var count = 0;
for (var i = 0; i < max; i++) {
if (document.mainForm.option[i].checked == true) {
count++;
serNoChecked = i;
}
}
if (count == 1) {
for (var i = 0; i < max; i++) {
if (document.mainForm.option[i].checked == false) {
document.mainForm.option[i].disabled = true;
}
}
}
else if (count == 0) {
for (var i = 0; i < max; i++) {
document.mainForm.option[i].disabled = false;
}
}
if (null == max) return false;
if (count == 0) {
return true;
}
else if (count > 0) {
return false;
}
}
catch (e) {
alert(e.message);
}
}
</script>
Try using Radio Button's, Give them the same name to group them and only allow 1 to be selected:
<td>
<label for="dock_books_search_visible_online"> Visible online?</label>
</td>
<td>
<input type="radio" name="option" value="checkedVisibleOk" id="dock_books_visible_ok" />
</td>
<td>
<label for="dock_books_search_visible_online_yes"> Yes</label>
</td>
<td><input type="radio" name="option" value="checkedVisibleNok" id="dock_books_visible_nok" />
</td>
<td>
<label for="dock_books_search_visible_online_no"> No</label>
</td>
Check this JSFiddle.
Hi why are you using checkbox? Checkboxes are not for the functionality that you want. Radio buttons are exact what you want to use.
<form>
<input type="radio" name="sex" value="male" /> Male<br />
<input type="radio" name="sex" value="female" /> Female
</form>
For further details look here
function toggle(chkBox, field) {
for ( var i = 0; i < field.length; i++) {
field[i].checked = false;
}
chkBox.checked = true;
}
<td>
<INPUT type="checkbox" name="xyz" onClick="toggle(this,document.myform.xyz);" value="${incident.incidentID}">
</td>
Use radio buttons and ensure that the name tag is consistent with all options and it'll automatically select just one w/o the need for additional code or JS.
I have an HTML page with multiple checkboxes.
I need one more checkbox by the name "select all". When I select this checkbox all checkboxes in the HTML page must be selected. How can I do this?
<script language="JavaScript">
function toggle(source) {
checkboxes = document.getElementsByName('foo');
for(var checkbox in checkboxes)
checkbox.checked = source.checked;
}
</script>
<input type="checkbox" onClick="toggle(this)" /> Toggle All<br/>
<input type="checkbox" name="foo" value="bar1"> Bar 1<br/>
<input type="checkbox" name="foo" value="bar2"> Bar 2<br/>
<input type="checkbox" name="foo" value="bar3"> Bar 3<br/>
<input type="checkbox" name="foo" value="bar4"> Bar 4<br/>
UPDATE:
The for each...in construct doesn't seem to work, at least in this case, in Safari 5 or Chrome 5. This code should work in all browsers:
function toggle(source) {
checkboxes = document.getElementsByName('foo');
for(var i=0, n=checkboxes.length;i<n;i++) {
checkboxes[i].checked = source.checked;
}
}
Using jQuery:
// Listen for click on toggle checkbox
$('#select-all').click(function(event) {
if(this.checked) {
// Iterate each checkbox
$(':checkbox').each(function() {
this.checked = true;
});
} else {
$(':checkbox').each(function() {
this.checked = false;
});
}
});
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.3.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<input type="checkbox" name="checkbox-1" id="checkbox-1" />
<input type="checkbox" name="checkbox-2" id="checkbox-2" />
<input type="checkbox" name="checkbox-3" id="checkbox-3" />
<!-- select all boxes -->
<input type="checkbox" name="select-all" id="select-all" />
I'm not sure anyone hasn't answered in this way (using jQuery):
$( '#container .toggle-button' ).click( function () {
$( '#container input[type="checkbox"]' ).prop('checked', this.checked)
})
It's clean, has no loops or if/else clauses and works as a charm.
I'm surprised no one mentioned document.querySelectorAll(). Pure JavaScript solution, works in IE9+.
function toggle(source) {
var checkboxes = document.querySelectorAll('input[type="checkbox"]');
for (var i = 0; i < checkboxes.length; i++) {
if (checkboxes[i] != source)
checkboxes[i].checked = source.checked;
}
}
<input type="checkbox" onclick="toggle(this);" />Check all?<br />
<input type="checkbox" />Bar 1<br />
<input type="checkbox" />Bar 2<br />
<input type="checkbox" />Bar 3<br />
<input type="checkbox" />Bar 4<br />
here's a different way less code
$(function () {
$('#select-all').click(function (event) {
var selected = this.checked;
// Iterate each checkbox
$(':checkbox').each(function () { this.checked = selected; });
});
});

When you call document.getElementsByName("name"), you will get a Object. Use .item(index) to traverse all items of a Object
HTML:
<input type="checkbox" onclick="for(c in document.getElementsByName('rfile')) document.getElementsByName('rfile').item(c).checked = this.checked">
<input type="checkbox" name="rfile" value="/cgi-bin/">
<input type="checkbox" name="rfile" value="/includes/">
<input type="checkbox" name="rfile" value="/misc/">
<input type="checkbox" name="rfile" value="/modules/">
<input type="checkbox" name="rfile" value="/profiles/">
<input type="checkbox" name="rfile" value="/scripts/">
<input type="checkbox" name="rfile" value="/sites/">
<input type="checkbox" name="rfile" value="/stats/">
<input type="checkbox" name="rfile" value="/themes/">
Slightly changed version which checks and unchecks respectfully
$('#select-all').click(function(event) {
var $that = $(this);
$(':checkbox').each(function() {
this.checked = $that.is(':checked');
});
});
My simple solution allows to selectively select/deselect all checkboxes in a given portion of the form, while using different names for each checkbox, so that they can be easily recognized after the form is POSTed.
Javascript:
function setAllCheckboxes(divId, sourceCheckbox) {
divElement = document.getElementById(divId);
inputElements = divElement.getElementsByTagName('input');
for (i = 0; i < inputElements.length; i++) {
if (inputElements[i].type != 'checkbox')
continue;
inputElements[i].checked = sourceCheckbox.checked;
}
}
HTML example:
<p><input onClick="setAllCheckboxes('actors', this);" type="checkbox" />All of them</p>
<div id="actors">
<p><input type="checkbox" name="kevin" />Spacey, Kevin</p>
<p><input type="checkbox" name="colin" />Firth, Colin</p>
<p><input type="checkbox" name="scarlett" />Johansson, Scarlett</p>
</div>
I hope you like it!

}
});
JavaScript is your best bet. The link below gives an example using buttons to de/select all. You could try to adapt it to use a check box, just use you 'select all' check box' onClick attribute.
Javascript Function to Check or Uncheck all Checkboxes
This page has a simpler example

<input type="checkbox" name="foo3" value="bar3"> Bar 3<br/>
<input type="checkbox" name="foo4" value="bar4"> Bar 4<br/>
<input type="checkbox" onClick="toggle(this)" /> Toggle All<br/>
</body>
</html>
It's rather simple:
const selectAllCheckboxes = () => {
const checkboxes = document.querySelectorAll('input[type=checkbox]');
checkboxes.forEach((cb) => { cb.checked = true; });
}
If adopting the top answer for jQuery, remember that the object passed to the click function is an EventHandler, not the original checkbox object. Therefore code should be modified as follows.
HTML
<input type="checkbox" name="selectThemAll"/> Toggle All<br/>
<input type="checkbox" name="foo" value="bar1"> Bar 1<br/>
<input type="checkbox" name="foo" value="bar2"> Bar 2<br/>
<input type="checkbox" name="foo" value="bar3"> Bar 3<br/>
<input type="checkbox" name="foo" value="bar4"> Bar 4<br/>
Javascript
$(function() {
jQuery("[name=selectThemAll]").click(function(source) {
checkboxes = jQuery("[name=foo]");
for(var i in checkboxes){
checkboxes[i].checked = source.target.checked;
}
});
})
<asp:CheckBox ID="CheckBox1" runat="server" Text="Select All" onclick="checkAll(this);" />
<br />
<asp:CheckBoxList ID="CheckBoxList1" runat="server">
<asp:ListItem Value="Item 1">Item 1</asp:ListItem>
<asp:ListItem Value="Item 2">Item 2</asp:ListItem>
<asp:ListItem Value="Item 3">Item 3</asp:ListItem>
<asp:ListItem Value="Item 4">Item 4</asp:ListItem>
<asp:ListItem Value="Item 5">Item 5</asp:ListItem>
<asp:ListItem Value="Item 6">Item 6</asp:ListItem>
</asp:CheckBoxList>
<script type="text/javascript">
function checkAll(obj1) {
var checkboxCollection = document.getElementById('<%=CheckBoxList1.ClientID %>').getElementsByTagName('input');
for (var i = 0; i < checkboxCollection.length; i++) {
if (checkboxCollection[i].type.toString().toLowerCase() == "checkbox") {
checkboxCollection[i].checked = obj1.checked;
}
}
}
</script>
that should do the job done:
$(':checkbox').each(function() {
this.checked = true;
});
You may have different sets of checkboxes on the same form. Here is a solution that selects/unselects checkboxes by class name, using vanilla javascript function document.getElementsByClassName
The Select All button
<input type='checkbox' id='select_all_invoices' onclick="selectAll()"> Select All
Some of the checkboxes to select
<input type='checkbox' class='check_invoice' id='check_123' name='check_123' value='321' />
<input type='checkbox' class='check_invoice' id='check_456' name='check_456' value='852' />
The javascript
function selectAll() {
var blnChecked = document.getElementById("select_all_invoices").checked;
var check_invoices = document.getElementsByClassName("check_invoice");
var intLength = check_invoices.length;
for(var i = 0; i < intLength; i++) {
var check_invoice = check_invoices[i];
check_invoice.checked = blnChecked;
}
}
This is what this will do, for instance if you have 5 checkboxes, and you click check all,it check all, now if you uncheck all the checkbox probably by clicking each 5 checkboxs, by the time you uncheck the last checkbox, the select all checkbox also gets unchecked
$("#select-all").change(function(){
$(".allcheckbox").prop("checked", $(this).prop("checked"))
})
$(".allcheckbox").change(function(){
if($(this).prop("checked") == false){
$("#select-all").prop("checked", false)
}
if($(".allcheckbox:checked").length == $(".allcheckbox").length){
$("#select-all").prop("checked", true)
}
})
As I cannot comment, here as answer:
I would write Can Berk Güder's solution in a more general way,
so you may reuse the function for other checkboxes
<script language="JavaScript">
function toggleCheckboxes(source, cbName) {
checkboxes = document.getElementsByName(cbName);
for (var i = 0, n = checkboxes.length; i < n; i++) {
checkboxes[i].checked = source.checked;
}
}
</script>
<input type="checkbox" onClick="toggleCheckboxes(this,\'foo\')" /> Toggle All<br/>
<input type="checkbox" name="foo" value="bar1"> Bar 1<br/>
<input type="checkbox" name="foo" value="bar2"> Bar 2<br/>
<input type="checkbox" name="foo" value="bar3"> Bar 3<br/>
<input type="checkbox" name="foo" value="bar4"> Bar 4<br/>
<input type="checkbox" name="foo" value="bar5"> Bar 5<br/>
$(document).ready(function() {
$(document).on(' change', 'input[name="check_all"]', function() {
$('.cb').prop("checked", this.checked);
});
});
Using jQuery and knockout:
With this binding main checkbox stays in sync with underliying checkboxes, it will be unchecked unless all checkboxes checked.
ko.bindingHandlers.allChecked = {
init: function (element, valueAccessor) {
var selector = valueAccessor();
function getChecked () {
element.checked = $(selector).toArray().every(function (checkbox) {
return checkbox.checked;
});
}
function setChecked (value) {
$(selector).toArray().forEach(function (checkbox) {
if (checkbox.checked !== value) {
checkbox.click();
}
});
}
ko.utils.registerEventHandler(element, 'click', function (event) {
setChecked(event.target.checked);
});
$(window.document).on('change', selector, getChecked);
ko.utils.domNodeDisposal.addDisposeCallback(element, () => {
$(window.document).off('change', selector, getChecked);
});
getChecked();
}
};
in html:
<input id="check-all-values" type="checkbox" data-bind="allChecked: '.checkValue'"/>
<input id="check-1" type="checkbox" class="checkValue"/>
<input id="check-2" type="checkbox" class="checkValue"/>
to make it in short-hand version by using jQuery
The select all checkbox
<input type="checkbox" id="chkSelectAll">
The children checkbox
<input type="checkbox" class="chkDel">
<input type="checkbox" class="chkDel">
<input type="checkbox" class="chkDel">
jQuery
$("#chkSelectAll").on('click', function(){
this.checked ? $(".chkDel").prop("checked",true) : $(".chkDel").prop("checked",false);
})
Below methods are very Easy to understand and you can implement existing forms in minutes
With Jquery,
$(document).ready(function() {
$('#check-all').click(function(){
$("input:checkbox").attr('checked', true);
});
$('#uncheck-all').click(function(){
$("input:checkbox").attr('checked', false);
});
});
in HTML form put below buttons
<a id="check-all" href="javascript:void(0);">check all</a>
<a id="uncheck-all" href="javascript:void(0);">uncheck all</a>
With just using javascript,
<script type="text/javascript">
function checkAll(formname, checktoggle)
{
var checkboxes = new Array();
checkboxes = document[formname].getElementsByTagName('input');
for (var i=0; i<checkboxes.length; i++) {
if (checkboxes[i].type == 'checkbox') {
checkboxes[i].checked = checktoggle;
}
}
}
</script>
in HTML form put below buttons
<button onclick="javascript:checkAll('form3', true);" href="javascript:void();">check all</button>
<button onclick="javascript:checkAll('form3', false);" href="javascript:void();">uncheck all</button>
Here is a backbone.js implementation:
events: {
"click #toggleChecked" : "toggleChecked"
},
toggleChecked: function(event) {
var checkboxes = document.getElementsByName('options');
for(var i=0; i<checkboxes.length; i++) {
checkboxes[i].checked = event.currentTarget.checked;
}
},
html
<input class='all' type='checkbox'> All
<input class='item' type='checkbox' value='1'> 1
<input class='item' type='checkbox' value='2'> 2
<input class='item' type='checkbox' value='3'> 3
javascript
$(':checkbox.all').change(function(){
$(':checkbox.item').prop('checked', this.checked);
});
1: Add the onchange event Handler
<th><INPUT type="checkbox" onchange="checkAll(this)" name="chk[]" /> </th>
2: Modify the code to handle checked/unchecked
function checkAll(ele) {
var checkboxes = document.getElementsByTagName('input');
if (ele.checked) {
for (var i = 0; i < checkboxes.length; i++) {
if (checkboxes[i].type == 'checkbox') {
checkboxes[i].checked = true;
}
}
} else {
for (var i = 0; i < checkboxes.length; i++) {
console.log(i)
if (checkboxes[i].type == 'checkbox') {
checkboxes[i].checked = false;
}
}
}
}
You can Use This code.
var checkbox = document.getElementById("dlCheckAll4Delete");
checkbox.addEventListener("click", function (event) {
let checkboxes = document.querySelectorAll(".dlMultiDelete");
checkboxes.forEach(function (ele) {
ele.checked = !!checkbox.checked;
});
});
You can use this simple code
$('.checkall').click(function(){
var checked = $(this).prop('checked');
$('.checkme').prop('checked', checked);
});
Maybe a bit late, but when dealing with a check all checkbox, I believe you should also handle the scenario for when you have the check all checkbox checked, and then unchecking one of the checkboxes below.
In that case it should automatically uncheck the check all checkbox.
Also when manually checking all the checkboxes, you should end up with the check all checkbox being automatically checked.
You need two event handlers, one for the check all box, and one for when clicking any of the single boxes below.
// HANDLES THE INDIVIDUAL CHECKBOX CLICKS
function client_onclick() {
var selectAllChecked = $("#chk-clients-all").prop("checked");
// IF CHECK ALL IS CHECKED, AND YOU'RE UNCHECKING AN INDIVIDUAL BOX, JUST UNCHECK THE CHECK ALL CHECKBOX.
if (selectAllChecked && $(this).prop("checked") == false) {
$("#chk-clients-all").prop("checked", false);
} else { // OTHERWISE WE NEED TO LOOP THROUGH INDIVIDUAL CHECKBOXES AND SEE IF THEY ARE ALL CHECKED, THEN CHECK THE SELECT ALL CHECKBOX ACCORDINGLY.
var allChecked = true;
$(".client").each(function () {
allChecked = $(this).prop("checked");
if (!allChecked) {
return false;
}
});
$("#chk-clients-all").prop("checked", allChecked);
}
}
// HANDLES THE TOP CHECK ALL CHECKBOX
function client_all_onclick() {
$(".client").prop("checked", $(this).prop("checked"));
}
