I use a jQuery function to show certain hidden text fields once you select something from a select box.
This works fine for select boxes but I can't get it to work for a checkbox.
Here is the stripped code I tried (in a nutshell) but it's not working: http://jsbin.com/uwane3/2/
Thanks for your help, I rarely use JS so my knowledge is small.
I have found 2 errors in your code:
your Checkbox has no value so you cant get more than an empty result form ".val()"
you have not bind a eventhandler to the checkbox.
http://jsbin.com/uwane3/3
$('#cf3_field_9').live('click', function(e){
if (e.target == $('#cf3_field_9')[0] && e.target.checked) {
alert('The following line could only work if the checkbox have a value.');
$.viewMapcf3_field_9[$(this).val()].show();
} else {
$.each($.viewMapcf3_field_9, function() { this.hide(); });
}
});
You have no events registered to your checkbox.
Register a click, or change handler like this:
$('#cf3_field_9').click(function(){
if ($(this).attr("checked")) {
$.viewMapcf3_field_9[$(this).val()].show();
} else {
$.each($.viewMapcf3_field_9, function() { this.hide(); });
}
});

I'm using Jquery's toggle event to do some stuff when a user clicks a checkbox, like this:
$('input#myId').toggle(
function(){
//do stuff
},
function(){
//do other stuff
}
);
The problem is that the checkbox isn't being ticked when I click on the checkbox. (All the stuff I've put into the toggle event is working properly.)
I've tried the following:
$('input#myId').attr('checked', 'checked');
and
$(this).attr('checked', 'checked');
and even simply
return true;
But nothing is working. Can anyone tell me where I'm going wrong?
Edit - thanks to all who replied. Dreas' answer very nearly worked for me, except for the part that checked the attribute. This works perfectly (although it's a bit hacky)
$('input#myInput').change(function ()
{
if(!$(this).hasClass("checked"))
{
//do stuff if the checkbox isn't checked
$(this).addClass("checked");
return;
}
//do stuff if the checkbox isn't checked
$(this).removeClass('checked');
});
Thanks again to all who replied.
Use the change event instead of the toggle event, like such:
$('input#myId').change(function () {
if ($(this).attr("checked")) {
//do the stuff that you would do when 'checked'
return;
}
//Here do the stuff you want to do when 'unchecked'
});
While using the change event handler suggested by Dreas Grech is appropriate, it doesn't work well in IE 6 & 7, which doesn't fire the change event until the focus is blurred (that is, until you click outside the area of the checkbox). As QuirksMode say, "it's a serious bug".
You might want to use the click event handler, but that won't work with keyboard navigation. You need to register a keyup handler too...
See also this related question.
I haven't yet found a good cross-browser solution that supports both mouse clicks and keyboard activation of the checkboxes (and doesn't fire too many events).
Regarding your solution for checking whether the checkbox is checked or not, instead of adding your own checked class, you may use HTML's checked attribute:
$('input#myInput').change(function () {
if ($(this).attr("checked")) {
//do stuff if the checkbox is checked
} else {
//do stuff if the checkbox isn't checked
}
});
Any browser sets the checked attribute of an input element to the value "checked" if the checkbox is checked, and sets it to null (or deletes the attribute) if the checkbox is not checked.
why not using $.is() ?
$('input#myId').change(
function() {
if ($(this).is(':checked')) {
// do stuff here
} else {
// do other stuff here
}
});
This is an answer by MorningZ (I found it here) that makes totally sense:
The part you are missing is that "checkbox" is a jQuery object, not a
checkbox DOM object
so:
checkbox.checked sure would error because there is no .checked property of a jQuery
object
so:
checkbox[0].checked would work since the first item on a jQuery array is the DOM object
itself.
So in your change() function you can use
$(this)[0].checked
$('input#myId').toggle(
function(e){
e.preventDefault();
//do stuff
$(this).attr('checked', 'true');
},
function(e){
e.preventDefault();
//do other stuff
$(this).attr('checked', 'false');
}
);
this worked for me............ check it
$(":checkbox").click(function(){
if($(this).attr("id").split("chk_all")[1])
{
var ty = "sel"+$(this).attr("id").split("chk_all")[1]+"[]";
if($(this).attr("checked"))
{
$('input[name="'+ty+'"]').attr("checked", "checked");
}
else
{
$('input[name="'+ty+'"]').removeAttr("checked");
}
}
})
I did a similar approach but simply using the checked attribute such as
//toggles checkbox on/off
$("input:checkbox").change(
function(){
if(!this.checked){
this.checked=true;
}
else{
this.checked=false;
}
}
);
//end toggle
$("input[type=checkbox][checked=false]")// be shure to set to false on ready
$("input#Checkbox1").change(function() {
if ($(this).attr("checked")) {
$("#chk1").html("you just selected me")//the lable
} else {$("#chk1").html("you just un selected me") }
});
Try using a non-jquery function:
function chkboxToggle() {
if ($('input#chkbox').attr('checked'))
// do something
else
// do something else
}
then in your form:
<input id="chkbox" type="checkbox" onclick="chkboxToggle()" />
Try:
$(":checkbox").click(function(){
if($(this).attr("checked"))
{
$('input[name="name[]"]').attr("checked", "checked");
}
else
{
$('input[name="name[]"]').removeAttr("checked");
}
})
I've used this jQuery dropdown button. This is my fiddle. This is the step of this:
So, the functionality:
At the time of selecting one option, a new box will appearing containing the title of that option. For example, if you click on the "Low" on the dropdown, a new box will come containing text, "Low" with a cross button.
I've written the script like this:
$('.low-option input[type=checkbox]').change(function(){
if($(this).prop('checked')){
$('#low-box').show();
} else {
$('#low-box').hide();
}
});
If you remove the boxes by clicking cross button, the box will be removed and adjacent checkbox will be unchecked.
So, I wrote this:
$('.option-box').on('click', '.cross', function() {
$(this).parent().remove();
});
if($('#low-box').is(":hidden")) {
$('.low-option input[type=checkbox]').prop('checked', false);
}
div.option-content is hidden at first. If any div.option-box will be visible, div.option-content will be visible too. If there is no div.option-box visible, div.option-content will be hidden always.
To do this, I wrote this:
var count = $('.option-content .option-box').is(":visible").length;
if (count > 0){
$('.option-content').show();
} else{
$('.option-content').hide();
}
But, my script is not working properly. As, I am not very good at jQuery, I can't find the reason and can't make it right way. Can you please help me removing the problem in the script?
Here I rewrite your code so it will become more scalable.. The important part that you missed is to relate/connect the checkbox with your option-box, so it will be easier for you to hide or show related element.. Check out this working Fiddle.
$('.dropdown-menu input[type=checkbox]').change(function(){
if($(this).prop('checked')){
$('.option-content').show();
$('.option-content #'+$(this).prop('id')).show();
} else {
$('.option-content #'+$(this).prop('id')).hide();
if($('.option-content .option-box:visible').length == 0){
$('.option-content').hide();
}
}
});
$('.option-box').on('click', '.cross', function() {
$('.dropdown-menu #'+$(this).parent().prop('id')).prop('checked', false);
$(this).parent().remove()
if($('.option-content .option-box:visible').length == 0){
$('.option-content').hide();
}
});
Cheers..
I have a button and a JQuery autocomplete. I want to make it so that it works like this:
if(input=='') {
button.text = "hello";
}
else {
button.text = "world";
}
I dont know how to incorporate this in my script so that the button changes in real time depending on the state of the autocomplete input.
Any thoughts would be great. Thanks
You can just bind an event handler to the text field's keyup event like this:
$('#inputWrapper').on('keyup', '#tags', function() {
if($(this).val() == '') {
$('button.addButton').text('Hello');
} else {
$('button.addButton').text('World');
}
});
Here's an updated fiddle.
I'm trying to write a javascript with jquery which should be able to pick out and use information on if a checkbox is checked or not. This should happen every time the checkbox(has id 'edit-toggle-me') is clicked. I've written a test function for this with some alert() in it to see if I've succeeded or not.
(function ($) {
"use strict";
$(document).ready(function () {
$('#edit-toggle-me').click(function(){
if ($('#edit-toggle-me').checked()) {
alert('Yup!');
}
else {
alert('Nup!');
}
});
});
})(jQuery);
It perform neither of the alerts so I'm guessing it crashes at $('#edit-toggle-me').checked(). I don't know why though.
I've also tried this:
(function ($) {
$(document).ready(function () {
$('#edit-toggle-me').click(function(){
var elementy = document.getElementById('edit-toggle-me');
var check = elementy.value;
alert(check);
if(elementy.checked()) {
alert('yup');
}
});
});
})(jQuery);
The first alert works, but neither or the last two 'yup' or 'nup'.
And then I also tried this:
(function ($) {
$(document).ready(function () {
$('#edit-toggle-me').click(function(){
var element2 = document.getElementById('edit-toggle-me');
var check = element2.value;
alert(check);
});
});
})(jQuery);
This always return 1. Which I don't understand why either.
Grateful for any hints.
Use .is(':checked'). You can find the documentation HERE.
JSFIDDLE
There is no such method as .checked() in jQuery or in the DOM API. There is simply a .checked property on the element that is true if the element is checked, false otherwise. Try this:
(function ($) {
"use strict";
$(document).ready(function () {
$('#edit-toggle-me').click(function(){
alert( this.checked ? ":)" : ":(" );
});
});
})(jQuery);
See demo: http://jsfiddle.net/scZ3X/
$(function(){
$('#edit-toggle-me').on('change', function(){
if($(this).is(':checked')) {
alert('checked');
}
else {
alert('unchecked');
}
});
});
You should have to use �change� event instead click. Because In some cases click event is not good to use in check box and radio buttons.
Example 1:
If you have a radio button have click event bind. In case your radio button is already true and you clicking in radio button. It�s not change radio button value, But your click event fire every time.
But in case if you use change event. Your event will fire only if your radio button value got change(If it�s already not checked or true)
Example 2:
If you have any label for any radio button or check box. In case you have click event bind in checkbox or radio button. On click of your label your check box or radio button value got change but your click event will not call.
In case of change event. It�ll work as expected on click of label related label too.
Try this:
$('#edit-toggle-me').is(':checked')
I am using the following jQuery code to switch div displays based on a change event tied to 3 radio buttons:
(function ($) {
Drupal.behaviors.change_form_fields = {
attach: function(context, settings) {
$('div.form-item-payment-method input').each(function() {
if (this.value != 'existing-bill') {
$('div#' + this.value).css('display', 'none');
}
});
$('div.form-item-payment-method input').change(function() {
show_class = this.value;
$('div.form-item-payment-method input').each(function() {
if (this.value != show_class) {
$('input#edit-' + this.value).val('');
$('div#' + this.value).css('display', 'none');
} else {
$('div#' + this.value).css('display', 'block');
}
});
});
}
}
}(jQuery));
This works fine and dandy, but I want to add some more to it.
If a user selects a radio button, I want to blank/clear out the form fields in the other groups. Like the onload (.each), they have divs around the display content.
I tried using .attr and .val, but the form fields would not clear when selecting another radio button. What am I missing? jQuery 1.4x+
val('') should do the trick, so there must be some other issue with either the selector, or the code not being run.
Use the radio buttons change event that should help you.
$("input[type=radio][name=groupname]").change(function(){
//Code the clear the form fields or other logic here.
});
