Note: I'm using vanilla js only.
I currently have a working script to add/remove classes via select options as well localStorage. All works great, see jsfiddle here.
Now, I'm wanting to add two checkbox's to perform in the same way. My problem is I'm not sure how to add checkboxes to my current localStorage script.
Here are my checkbox's:
<input type="checkbox" name="checkbox1" id="checkbox1" onchange="checkbox1(this)">
<input type="checkbox" name="checkbox2" id="checkbox2" onchange="checkbox2(this)">
And add/remove class on check/uncheck for checkbox1:
var checkbox = document.getElementById('checkbox1');
checkbox.addEventListener("change", checkbox1, false);
function checkbox1() {
var isChecked = checkbox.checked;
if (isChecked) {
[].map.call(document.querySelectorAll('body,.nc,.tags'), function(el) {
el.classList.add('classname');
});
} else {
[].map.call(document.querySelectorAll('body,.nc,.tags'), function(el) {
el.classList.remove('classname');
});
}
}
Works fine. Now I just need to add it to localStorage.
Here's my localStorage script that works for my select options (full example in my jsfiddle). How do I modify it to work for my checkbox's as well? I'm assuming I have to modify the second line to check for checkbox instead of options but I'm not sure how.
function selectTest(element) {
const a = element.options[element.selectedIndex].value;
setTest(a);
localStorage['test'] = a;
}
function setTest(a) {
if (a == "option1") {
//add+remove classes here
}
}
(function() {
if (localStorage['test'])
document.getElementById("test").value = localStorage['test'];
setTest(localStorage['test'])
})();
Here is the JS Fiddle if you just directly want to see the code https://jsfiddle.net/qctn08ym/44/
The idea is that since multiple checkboxes can be ticked and we need to preserve that we can store it as an array. Note that you can only store string in localStorage so you would need to convert the array to string and vice versa.
On any checkbox value changed we can call the function below that will set the localstorage
function checkboxChanged(e) {
//Get the id of all checked checkboxes and store them as array
// You can do this in loop as well by setting common class on checkboxes
var c = []
if(document.getElementById('checkbox1').checked) {
c.push('checkbox1');
}
if(document.getElementById('checkbox2').checked) {
c.push('checkbox2');
}
localStorage['test'] = c.toString();
}
Then you can just call the function below on document load
function checkOnLocalStorage() {
if(!localStorage['test']) return;
var checked = localStorage['test'].split(',');
checked.map((id) => {
document.getElementById(id).checked=true;
})
}

I am trying to create a JS function that will ensure all checkboxes in my form are selected.
I have tried the following, but it isn't working. There are other checkboxes in another from on this page so I am wondering if this is conflicting? I thought using $(this) would fix that issue...
$('#my-form').on('submit', function(e) {
e.preventDefault();
var checked = false;
$('#input[type="checkbox"]').each(function() {
if ($(this).is(":checked")) {
checked = true;
}
});
if (checked == false) {
console.log('Something wasnt checked');
}
});
Can any advise what I am doing wrong here please?
Your code checks if any of the checkboxes are checked.
Change the code to
var checked = true;
And set the variable to false, if the checkbox in the loop is NOT checked.
"#" is used to query elements by their ID, so $("#input") would target only one input that has id="input". You should instead do this:
$("input[type='checkbox']")
or, if you don't want all checkboxes on the page you will need to use some other selector, etc. add class "some-class" to all inputs that you want to check and use:
$(".some-class")
Also, you will need to revert your logic, cause currently you will set checked to true if any of the checkboxes is checked. So, initially use checked = true, then in if statement set it to false if it's not checked.
Just check :checked checkbox length based upon that set your variable like below.
$('input[type="checkbox"]').click(function() {
var checked = false;
if ($('input[type="checkbox"]:checked').length == $('input[type="checkbox"]').length)
checked = true;
if (checked == true)
console.log('checked');
else
console.log('false');
});
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.3.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<input checked="checked" type="checkbox">
<input checked="checked" type="checkbox">
Currently, I have multiple checkbox inputs with different names(checkit, checktype, checklog) assigned to the inputs.
What I want to do is to have each checkbox to change the color of the background when checked.
However, I dont know how I can assign each one of the checkbox to do some tasks without duplicating the following code ?If possible some examples or tips will be great! I would love to hear from you .
Should I remove name="checkit" if I want to make all the inputs do the same thing? What if I want them to do some slightly different things?
$('input[name="checkit"]').change(function () {
if ($(this).prop('checked')) {
$(this).parent().parent().addClass('alterBackground');
} else {
$(this).parent().parent().removeClass('alterBackground');
}
});
Add the following by , or give some class name to it
$('input[name="checkit"], input[name="checktype"], input[name="checklog"]').change(function () {
if ($(this).prop('checked')) {
$(this).parent().parent().addClass('alterBackground');
} else {
$(this).parent().parent().removeClass('alterBackground');
}
});
Don't use the name atrribute in jQuery and add a common class to each checkbox for a common functionality and access it with class selector in jQuery as shown below.
If you want to do something different with different checkboxes apart from this, then you can add more jQuery code for that specific input tag. It will not affect this code.
$('input.someClass').change(function () {
if ($(this).prop('checked')) {
$(this).parent().parent().addClass('alterBackground');
} else {
$(this).parent().parent().removeClass('alterBackground');
}
});
You can remove the name part from the selector and add selector for input[type='radio']. And if you want to add a bit different logic (I think you mean different classes), you can get the name of the current checked checkbox and use it to make your logic. Something like this
$('input[type="radio"]').change(function () {
var checkboxName = $(this).prop('name');
// if(checkboxName === .....)
});
Updated according to the comment
$('input[name="checkit"], input[name="checktype"], input[name="checklog"]').change(function () {
var checkboxName = $(this).prop('name');
// .............
});
$('input[type="checkbox"]').change(function () {
if ($(this).prop('checked')) {
$(this).parent().parent().addClass('alterBackground');
} else {
$(this).parent().parent().removeClass('alterBackground');
}
});
Use
$('input[type="checkbox"]')
instead of
$('input[name="checkit"]')
I'm making a chrome extension that has an options.html page.
On the options page I have 3 checkboxes. When one of the checkboxes is checked/unchecked the value of that checkbox is saved to- or removed from chrome.storage using chrome.storage.sync.set(). But I can't seem to retrieve the data once it is saved using chrome.storage.sync.get().
Here's the code I have:
options.html:
<div class="checkboxes">
<input id="test1" name="test1" type="checkbox">
<input id="test2" name="test2" type="checkbox">
<input id="test3" name="test3" type="checkbox">
</div>
options.js:
$(document).ready(function() {
var storage = chrome.storage.sync;
//Retrieve existing settings
$(':checkbox').each(function() {
$(this).prop('checked', function() {
var name = this.name;
storage.get(name, function(test){
console.log(test[name]);
});
});
});
$(".checkboxes").on("change", ":checkbox", saveSettings);
//Save or delete settings
function saveSettings() {
var name = this.name;
if($(this).is(':checked')) {
storage.set({name:'checked'},function(){
console.log("saved");
});
}
else {
storage.remove(name, function(){
console.log("removed");
});
}
}
});
Above outputs:
console.log(test[name]); > undefined
console.log("saved"); > saved
console.log("removed"); > removed
Why do I get "undefined"?
I tired the same thing using localStorage which worked fine on only option.js. But when I tried to retrieve the stored data on background.js it didn't work. I figured their localStorage details are not accessible to each other.
I should also mention I'm not the best at javascript/jquery and I'm still learning, so please excuse my mistakes.
You've got two main issues:
chrome.storage.sync.get is asynchronous, while the function in jQuery.fn.prop(propertyName, function(index, oldPropertyValue) ) must synchronously return the desired value.
storage.set({name:'checked'}, ...); will create a property called "name" with value "checked", not a property with the name as specified in the name variable with value "checked".
To solve the first problem, swap the order of operations: First read the preference, then set the property:
//Retrieve existing settings
$(':checkbox').each(function(index, element) {
var name = this.name;
storage.get(name, function(items) {
element.checked = items[name]; // true OR false / undefined (=false)
});
});
To solve the second issue, first create an object, assign the new property, and save the result. Note: Since a checkbox can only have two states, I recommend to not save the string "checked", but use a boolean (true / false):
function saveSettings() {
var name = this.name;
var items = {};
items[name] = this.checked;
storage.set(items, function() {
console.log("saved");
});
}
PS. When you're certain that you're dealing with checkboxes, use element.checked instead of $(element).is(':checked'). The former is shorter and faster. Using jQuery adds no value here. See also: When to use Vanilla JavaScript vs. jQuery?
I'm trying to assign a function to a couple of checkboxes, but I only want them added based on a condition, in this case the step number of the form. This is a roundabout way of making the checkboxes readOnly AFTER they have been selected (or not). So, at step 1 I want the user to choose cb1 or cb2, but at step 2 I want to assign the function that will not let the checkboxes values be changed.
What am I doing wrong?
function functionOne() {
this.checked = !this.checked
};
if (document.getElementById("stepNumber").value == 2) {
document.getElementById("cb1").setAttribute("onkeydown", "functionOne(this)");
document.getElementById("cb2").setAttribute("onkeydown", "functionOne(this)");
}
You are passing the element in an argument, so use that:
function functionOne(elem) {
elem.checked = !elem.checked
};
You could also use properties:
document.getElementById("cb1").onkeydown = functionOne;
document.getElementById("cb2").onkeydown = functionOne;
function functionOne() {
this.checked = !this.checked
};
This is a solution that requires jquery but you can use the .click function to disable checkboxes once one is clicked.
Here is a working example:
http://jsfiddle.net/uPsm7/
Why not on the selection disable the checkbox?
Function onCheck(elm)
{
document.getElementById("cbValue").value = elm.value;
elm.disabled = true;
}
<input id="cbValue" type="hidden" />
Use the hidden input field to allow form to send data back to server.
How can a checkbox be checked/unchecked using JavaScript?
Javascript:
// Check
document.getElementById("checkbox").checked = true;
// Uncheck
document.getElementById("checkbox").checked = false;
jQuery (1.6+):
// Check
$("#checkbox").prop("checked", true);
// Uncheck
$("#checkbox").prop("checked", false);
jQuery (1.5-):
// Check
$("#checkbox").attr("checked", true);
// Uncheck
$("#checkbox").attr("checked", false);
Important behaviour that has not yet been mentioned:
Programmatically setting the checked attribute, does not fire the change event of the checkbox.
See for yourself in this fiddle:
http://jsfiddle.net/fjaeger/L9z9t04p/4/
(Fiddle tested in Chrome 46, Firefox 41 and IE 11)
The click() method
Some day you might find yourself writing code, which relies on the event being fired. To make sure the event fires, call the click() method of the checkbox element, like this:
document.getElementById('checkbox').click();
However, this toggles the checked status of the checkbox, instead of specifically setting it to true or false. Remember that the change event should only fire, when the checked attribute actually changes.
It also applies to the jQuery way: setting the attribute using prop or attr, does not fire the change event.
Setting checked to a specific value
You could test the checked attribute, before calling the click() method. Example:
function toggle(checked) {
var elm = document.getElementById('checkbox');
if (checked != elm.checked) {
elm.click();
}
}
Read more about the click method here:
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/HTMLElement/click
to check:
document.getElementById("id-of-checkbox").checked = true;
to uncheck:
document.getElementById("id-of-checkbox").checked = false;
We can checked a particulate checkbox as,
$('id of the checkbox')[0].checked = true
and uncheck by ,
$('id of the checkbox')[0].checked = false
Try This:
//Check
document.getElementById('checkbox').setAttribute('checked', 'checked');
//UnCheck
document.getElementById('chk').removeAttribute('checked');
I would like to note, that setting the 'checked' attribute to a non-empty string leads to a checked box.
So if you set the 'checked' attribute to "false", the checkbox will be checked. I had to set the value to the empty string, null or the boolean value false in order to make sure the checkbox was not checked.
Using vanilla js:
//for one element:
document.querySelector('.myCheckBox').checked = true //will select the first matched element
document.querySelector('.myCheckBox').checked = false//will unselect the first matched element
//for multiple elements:
for (const checkbox of document.querySelectorAll('.myCheckBox')) {
//iterating over all matched elements
checkbox.checked = true //for selection
checkbox.checked = false //for unselection
}
function setCheckboxValue(checkbox,value) {
if (checkbox.checked!=value)
checkbox.click();
}
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function () {
$('.selecctall').click(function (event) {
if (this.checked) {
$('.checkbox1').each(function () {
this.checked = true;
});
} else {
$('.checkbox1').each(function () {
this.checked = false;
});
}
});
});
</script>
For single check try
myCheckBox.checked=1
<input type="checkbox" id="myCheckBox"> Call to her
for multi try
document.querySelectorAll('.imChecked').forEach(c=> c.checked=1)
Buy wine: <input type="checkbox" class="imChecked"><br>
Play smooth-jazz music: <input type="checkbox"><br>
Shave: <input type="checkbox" class="imChecked"><br>
If, for some reason, you don't want to (or can't) run a .click() on the checkbox element, you can simply change its value directly via its .checked property (an IDL attribute of <input type="checkbox">).
Note that doing so does not fire the normally related event (change) so you'll need to manually fire it to have a complete solution that works with any related event handlers.
Here's a functional example in raw javascript (ES6):
class ButtonCheck {
constructor() {
let ourCheckBox = null;
this.ourCheckBox = document.querySelector('#checkboxID');
let checkBoxButton = null;
this.checkBoxButton = document.querySelector('#checkboxID+button[aria-label="checkboxID"]');
let checkEvent = new Event('change');
this.checkBoxButton.addEventListener('click', function() {
let checkBox = this.ourCheckBox;
//toggle the checkbox: invert its state!
checkBox.checked = !checkBox.checked;
//let other things know the checkbox changed
checkBox.dispatchEvent(checkEvent);
}.bind(this), true);
this.eventHandler = function(e) {
document.querySelector('.checkboxfeedback').insertAdjacentHTML('beforeend', '<br />Event occurred on checkbox! Type: ' + e.type + ' checkbox state now: ' + this.ourCheckBox.checked);
}
//demonstration: we will see change events regardless of whether the checkbox is clicked or the button
this.ourCheckBox.addEventListener('change', function(e) {
this.eventHandler(e);
}.bind(this), true);
//demonstration: if we bind a click handler only to the checkbox, we only see clicks from the checkbox
this.ourCheckBox.addEventListener('click', function(e) {
this.eventHandler(e);
}.bind(this), true);
}
}
var init = function() {
const checkIt = new ButtonCheck();
}
if (document.readyState != 'loading') {
init;
} else {
document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', init);
}
<input type="checkbox" id="checkboxID" />
<button aria-label="checkboxID">Change the checkbox!</button>
<div class="checkboxfeedback">No changes yet!</div>
If you run this and click on both the checkbox and the button you should get a sense of how this works.
Note that I used document.querySelector for brevity/simplicity, but this could easily be built out to either have a given ID passed to the constructor, or it could apply to all buttons that act as aria-labels for a checkbox (note that I didn't bother setting an id on the button and giving the checkbox an aria-labelledby, which should be done if using this method) or any number of other ways to expand this. The last two addEventListeners are just to demo how it works.
I agree with the current answers, but in my case it does not work, I hope this code help someone in the future:
// check
$('#checkbox_id').click()
