Working With checkboxes in the web pages - javascript

I have group of checkboxes and that are compulsory to be applied but the situation is user can be able to check only one check box at a time. So, for this I have implemented something like this with the help of internet. No doubt it works fine when there are no checkbox checked by default. But suppose, one of the checkbox is checked true when page loads, then this does not works unitl I click on checkbox twice.
Here is what I am using::
So , Assuming I have set of 5 checkboxes, I set same class name for all the checkboxes and then
<input type="checkbox" class="myclass" onclick="Checkme(this.className);"/>
<input type="checkbox" class="myclass" onclick="Checkme(this.className);"/>
<input type="checkbox" class="myclass" onclick="Checkme(this.className);"/>
<input type="checkbox" class="myclass" onclick="Checkme(this.className);"/>
<input type="checkbox" class="myclass" onclick="Checkme(this.className);"/>
In View page I have declared::
function Checkme(class_Name) {
Check_OR_Uncheck(class_Name);
}
In Common js::
function Check_OR_Uncheck(class_Name) {
$("." + class_Name).click(function () {
if ($(this)[0].checked) {
$("." + class_Name).each(function () {
$(this)[0].checked = false;
});
$(this)[0].checked = true;
}
else {
$(this)[0].checked = false;
}
});
}
Please Help me to achieve this..

Keep your code in the document ready event. This will register the click event for "myclass".
$(".myclass").click(function () {
if ($(this)[0].checked) {
$(".myclass").each(function () {
$(this)[0].checked = false;
});
$(this)[0].checked = true;
} else {
$(this)[0].checked = false;
}
});
jsfiddle

You could use document ready handler and call method:
jsFiddle
$(function(){
$(':checkbox:checked').each(function(){
Checkme(this.className);
});
});

Try this
$(function(){
$('.myclass').click(function(){
var s=$(this).prop('checked');
if(s==true)
{
$('.myclass').prop('checked',false)
$(this).prop('checked',true)
}
});
});
Or
You simply can use
if(s==true)
{
$(this).siblings().prop('checked',false);
}
FIDDLE

Try this
$(function(){
$('input:checkbox').prop('checked', false)
$('input:checkbox').click(function(){
if($(this).is(':checked')){
$('input:checkbox').not(this).prop('checked', false);
}
});
})

Instead of implementing a group of check boxes that behave like a group of radio buttons, I suggest implementing a group of radio buttons that look like a group of check boxes:
input[type=radio] {content:url(mycheckbox.png)}
input[type=radio]:checked {content:url(mycheckbox-checked.png)}
This approach simplifies your implementation; you have two one-line CSS rules instead of a JS event handler function, event binding (on both document ready and the HTML element itself), not to mention a possible dependency on jQuery (if you choose to use it).
The catch to this approach is that it requires CSS3 support. For more info, check out this SO answer: https://stackoverflow.com/a/279510/2503516

.is(":checked") doesn't work in jQuery

I'm new to jQuery and I need to check if the checkbox is checked. In other posts I saw that I need to use .is(":checked") to solve it, but somehow it doesn't work.
$('.neutral').on('click', function() {
var checkbox = $(this);
if (checkbox.is(":checked")) {
console.log('checked');
} else {
console.log('unchecked');
}
});
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<input type="checkbox" class="neutral" />
In this code I have 2 problems and I don't know how to solve it.
When I'm using console.log('checked') outside of the if statement (after checkbox variable) and I click on the checkbox one time, console prints the result 2 times.
I don't know why this if statement doesn't working.
Thank you for your time and help.
checked happens after the change event,just replace click with change.
$('.neutral').on('change', function() {
var checkbox = $(this);
if (checkbox.is(":checked")) {
console.log('checked');
} else {
console.log('unchecked');
}
});
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<input type="checkbox" class="neutral" />
I have seen your code, I think you should try
$(document).on("click",".neutral",function() {
// Write code here
});
Instead of your code, Replace this code to as i written
$('.neutral').on('click', function() {
// Code here
});
For more undesirability see here
$(document).ready(function() {
// This WILL work because we are listening on the 'document',
// for a click on an element with an ID of #test-element
$(document).on("click","#test-element",function() {
alert("click bound to document listening for #test-element");
});
// This will NOT work because there is no '#test-element' ... yet
$("#test-element").on("click",function() {
alert("click bound directly to #test-element");
});
// Create the dynamic element '#test-element'
$('body').append('<div id="test-element">Click mee</div>');
});

checkbox toggle change without any user interaction

I call a function in jquery for a checkbox toggle change. It works as expected.
Now I want to change this when the box is checked show some tables else hide.
But I don't know how to modify my function.. [1]
How can I modify this ?
[1]
HTML
<label class="checkbox"> <input type="checkbox" id="toggleSequence" name="sequence_check" id="sequence_check">
Jquery
$("#toggleSequence").change(function(e){
if($(this).is(":checked")){
$(this).parent().next().show();
}else{
$(this).parent().next().hide();
}
});
JS Fiddle
$('#toggleSequence').parents('table').next().hide(); // first you need to hide it use can also use css for this
$("#toggleSequence").change(function (e) {
if ($(this).is(":checked")) {
alert();
$(this).parents('table').next().show();
} else {
$(this).parents('table').next().hide();
}
});

Multi checkbox requirement enable disable dropdown box using jquery

So first off I did search and I found this Enable/Disable a dropdownbox in jquery which got me on the right track. I'm new to jquery so when seeing other code I can adapt it to fit and work for me.
So what i'm asking is how do you make it check to see if two check boxes condition are true?
<script>
$(document).ready(function() {
$("#box1").click(function() {
if ($(this).is(":checked")) {
$("#tech1").prop("disabled", false);
} else {
$("#tech1").prop("disabled", true);
}
});
});
</script>
I want it to be if box1 and box2 are checked enable this box? I understand you can do it with an if statement, but I'm not sure where exactly it goes. Thanks in advance.
Would this work:
$("#box1").click(function() {
if ($(this).is(":checked")) &&
$("#box2").click(function() {
if ($(this).is(":checked"))
I doesn't work and I assume thats because that above creates two functions and not the if statement that I need.
Include both in the event handler, and check if both are checked
$(document).ready(function() {
var boxes = $("#box1, #box2");
boxes.on('change', function() {
var disabled = boxes.filter(':checked').length === boxes.length;
$("#tech1").prop("disabled", disabled);
});
});
FIDDLE
Consider box1 & box2 checkboxes defined with a css class boxes as below:
<input type="checkbox" id="box1" class="boxes" />
<input type="checkbox" id="box2" class="boxes" />
Now you can use box class as jquery selector to do your task
<script>
$(document).ready(function() {
$(".boxes").click(function(){
if($(".boxes:checked").size() == $(".boxes").size()){
$("#tech1").prop("disabled", false);
}else{
$("#tech1").prop("disabled", true);
}
);
});

Radio Button Check

I am trying to check if a radio box is checked using JavaScript, but I can't seem to figure it out properly.
This is the HTML code:
<input type="radio" name="status" id="employed_yes" value="yes">
<input type="radio" name="status" id="employed_no" value="no">
I have tried using jQuery as follows:
$(document).ready(function() {
if($('#employed_yes').is(':checked')) {
// do something
}
});
Also, I tried using pure Javascript by getting the element and check its 'checked' attribute, but it didn't work.
I look forward to your insight!
Thank you!
Use onchange
$('input[type="radio"]').on('change',function(){
if($('#employed_yes').is(':checked')) {
alert("yes");
}
});
DEMO
Try to check using name of the radio buttons like
if($('input[name="status"]').val() != "") {
// do something
} else {
alert("Select an Status");
}
Your solution doesn't work because when the page loads the checkbox's default state is unchecked, which is when the jQuery code runs.
You need to listen for the change event on the checkbox like so:
$(document).ready(function() {
$("#employed_yes").change(function() {
if(this.checked) {
document.write("checked");
}
});
});
Demo: http://jsfiddle.net/7CduY/
Try this. This will alert Hi on document ready if the any radio button is checked. If you want to check on specific event then you can bind on any event to check same.
$(document).ready(function() {
if($('input[type=radio]').is(':checked')) {
alert("Hi");
}
});
if($('input:radio:checked').text("yes") {
// do something
}
Got the idea from the jQuery forum. http://forum.jquery.com/topic/how-to-check-whether-all-radio-buttons-have-been-been-selected
Dude, I think you Wanted, whether radio button is checked or not, this what i understand from your question
If so here it is
$(document).ready(function() {
$('input[type="radio"]').on('change',function(){
if($('[name=status]:checked').length) {
alert("checked");
}
});
});
FIDDLE DEMO
Pure JS:
<input type = "button" value = "What?" name = "wic" onclick = "whatischecked(this.name);" />
Event onClick:
function whatischecked(name) {
var
emp = document.getElementById("employed_yes").checked
nonemp = document.getElementById("employed_no").checked
if (emp) {
alert("Employed");
};
if (nonemp) {
alert("Non-Employed");
};
if ((emp == false) & (nonemp == false))
{
alert("nothing checked")
};
}

Optimize jQuery small script for checkboxes

I made a small verification script which is supposed to act like this:
I have 4 checkboxes, one has a particular way of action, the id of this checkbox is chx0
If I checked the chx0 checkbox then it released all the others checked checkboxes
If I checked one of all the others checkboxes then it released the chx0 one
Here is my code:
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function() {
$('#chx0').click(function() { // click on the chx0 checkbox
if ($('#chx0').attr('checked')) {
$('#chx1').attr('checked', false);
$('#chx2').attr('checked', false);
$('#chx3').attr('checked', false);
}
});
$('#chx1').click(function() {// click on the chx1 checkbox
if ($('#chx1').attr('checked')) {
$('#chx0').attr('checked', false);
}
});
$('#chx2').click(function() { // click on the chx2 checkbox
if ($('#chx2').attr('checked')) {
$('#chx0').attr('checked', false);
}
});
$('#chx3').click(function() { // click on the chx3 checkbox
if ($('#chx3').attr('checked')) {
$('#chx0').attr('checked', false);
}
});
});
</script>
This code is working pretty well it just to get more good practice!
I'd put a class on each checkbox
<input type="checkbox" name="chx0" id="chx0" class="checkbox-group singleton">
<label for="chx0">Check me out!</label>
<input type="checkbox" name="chx1" id="chx1" class="checkbox-group">
<label for="chx1">Check us out!</label>
<input type="checkbox" name="chx2" id="chx2" class="checkbox-group">
<label for="chx2">Check them out!</label>
Then with your jQuery you can do
$('input.checkbox-group').each( function() {
$(this).click( function() {
if ( $(this).hasClass('singleton') ) {
$('input.checkbox-group:checked').removeAttr('checked');
} else {
$('input.checkbox-group.singleton').removeAttr('checked');
}
};
});
Untested, but I think something like that should work. I can't remember if it's better to use the change event rather than click.
You could combine the clauses for all the individual checkboxes, something like
$('#chx1','#chx2','#chx3').click(function() {
if ($(this).attr('checked')) {
$('#chx0').attr('checked', false);
}
});
instead of one per checkbox. Also in the one for "chx0", you can use $(this) instead of $('#chx0')
I came up with something similar to ianbarker. Rather than assume dependencies are all or nothing I used a custom data tag to list the dependencies.
A working example is on jsfiddle here
$('.luckyChecks').click(function() { // click on ANY lucky checkbox
var $t = $(this);
if($t.attr('checked')){
var clear = $t.attr("data-clear").split(",");
for(var i=0; i < clear.length; i++){
$('#'+clear[i]).attr('checked',false);
}
}
});
HTML:
<input type="checkbox" id="chx0" class="luckyChecks" data-clear="chx1,chx2,chx3" />
Diamonds <br />
<input type="checkbox" id="chx1" class="luckyChecks" data-clear="chx0"/>
Clovers <br />
...
