hope you can help me :)
I have this code to get the value of the checkboxes:
function check() {
var Input = Array.prototype.slice.call(document.querySelectorAll(".checkboxes:checked")).map(function(el) {
return el.value;
}).join(',')
document.getElementById('output2').innerHTML = Input;
return false;
}
I want that the output is in the order I selected the checkboxes. Is there a way to get them in correct order?
You can set the timestamp to them when they are changed (comments inline)
var allCheckboxes = document.querySelectorAll("input[type='checkbox'][data-name]");
//bind the event to set time value on change
[...allCheckboxes].forEach(s => s.addEventListener("change", function(e) {
e.currentTarget.timeval = new Date().getTime();
}));
document.querySelector("button").addEventListener("click", check);
function check() {
var output = [...allCheckboxes]
.filter(s => s.checked) // filter out non-checked
.sort((a, b) => a.timeval - b.timeval) //sort by timeval
.map(s => s.getAttribute("data-name")).join(","); //fetch only data-name for display
document.getElementById('output').innerHTML = output;
}
Check 1 <input type="checkbox" data-name="check1"> <br/> Check 2 <input type="checkbox" data-name="check2"> <br/> Check 3 <input type="checkbox" data-name="check3"> <br/> Check 4 <input type="checkbox" data-name="check4"> <br/> Check 5 <input type="checkbox"
data-name="check5"> <br/>
<button>check</button>
<div id="output"></div>
You can set an array and save the values as they are selected.
You can achive this by giving each chcekbox an event listener.
In the event listener you add an if to validate if the click event was when checked and then add them to your list/array.
Hope this helps :)
var checks = document.querySelectorAll('input[type=checkbox]');
var order = [];
for(var i=0; i<checks.length;i++){
checks[i].addEventListener("click", function(){
if(this.checked)
order.push(this.value);
})
}
<input type="checkbox" value="A">A
<input type="checkbox" value="B">B
<input type="checkbox" value="C">C
<input type="checkbox" value="D">D
<br>
<button onclick="console.log('Order: '+order)">Check order</button>
You can add a data-id attribute to each section. And when you click on one checkbox, change the attribute values of each checkbox to a serial number. To do this, it's easier to use jquery
You could use a Set and add or delete depending of the checked state of the check box.
Set returns the items in insertation order.
var checks = document.querySelectorAll('input[type=checkbox]'),
order = new Set,
i
for (i = 0; i < checks.length; i++) {
checks[i].addEventListener("click", function() {
order[['delete', 'add'][+this.checked]](this.value);
});
}
<input type="checkbox" value="A">A
<input type="checkbox" value="B">B
<input type="checkbox" value="C">C
<input type="checkbox" value="D">D
<br>
<button onclick="console.log('Order: '+[...order])">Check order</button>
When using the newer browsers that support HTML5 (FireFox 4 for example);
and a form field has the attribute required='required';
and the form field is empty/blank;
and the submit button is clicked;
the browsers detects that the "required" field is empty and does not submit the form; instead browser shows a hint asking the user to type text into the field.
Now, instead of a single text field, I have a group of checkboxes, out of which at least one should be checked/selected by the user.
How can I use the HTML5 required attribute on this group of checkboxes?
(Since only one of the checkboxes needs to be checked, I can't put the required attribute on each and every checkbox)
ps. I am using simple_form, if that matters.
UPDATE
Could the HTML 5 multiple attribute be helpful here? Has anyone use it before for doing something similar to my question?
UPDATE
It appears that this feature is not supported by the HTML5 spec: ISSUE-111: What does input.#required mean for #type = checkbox?
(Issue status: Issue has been marked closed without prejudice.)
And here is the explanation.
UPDATE 2
It's an old question, but wanted to clarify that the original intent of the question was to be able to do the above without using Javascript - i.e. using a HTML5 way of doing it. In retrospect, I should've made the "without Javascript" more obvious.
Unfortunately HTML5 does not provide an out-of-the-box way to do that.
However, using jQuery, you can easily control if a checkbox group has at least one checked element.
Consider the following DOM snippet:
<div class="checkbox-group required">
<input type="checkbox" name="checkbox_name[]">
<input type="checkbox" name="checkbox_name[]">
<input type="checkbox" name="checkbox_name[]">
<input type="checkbox" name="checkbox_name[]">
</div>
You can use this expression:
$('div.checkbox-group.required :checkbox:checked').length > 0
which returns true if at least one element is checked.
Based on that, you can implement your validation check.
Its a simple trick. This is jQuery code that can exploit the html5 validation by changing the required properties if any one is checked. Following is your html code (make sure that you add required for all the elements in the group.)
<input type="checkbox" name="option[]" id="option-1" value="option1" required/> Option 1
<input type="checkbox" name="option[]" id="option-2" value="option2" required/> Option 2
<input type="checkbox" name="option[]" id="option-3" value="option3" required/> Option 3
<input type="checkbox" name="option[]" id="option-4" value="option4" required/> Option 4
<input type="checkbox" name="option[]" id="option-5" value="option5" required/> Option 5
Following is jQuery script, which disables further validation check if any one is selected. Select using name element.
$cbx_group = $("input:checkbox[name='option[]']");
$cbx_group = $("input:checkbox[id^='option-']"); // name is not always helpful ;)
$cbx_group.prop('required', true);
if($cbx_group.is(":checked")){
$cbx_group.prop('required', false);
}
Small gotcha here: Since you are using html5 validation, make sure you execute this before the it gets validated i.e. before form submit.
// but this might not work as expected
$('form').submit(function(){
// code goes here
});
// So, better USE THIS INSTEAD:
$('button[type="submit"]').on('click', function() {
// skipping validation part mentioned above
});
HTML5 does not directly support requiring only one/at least one checkbox be checked in a checkbox group. Here is my solution using Javascript:
HTML
<input class='acb' type='checkbox' name='acheckbox[]' value='1' onclick='deRequire("acb")' required> One
<input class='acb' type='checkbox' name='acheckbox[]' value='2' onclick='deRequire("acb")' required> Two
JAVASCRIPT
function deRequireCb(elClass) {
el = document.getElementsByClassName(elClass);
var atLeastOneChecked = false; //at least one cb is checked
for (i = 0; i < el.length; i++) {
if (el[i].checked === true) {
atLeastOneChecked = true;
}
}
if (atLeastOneChecked === true) {
for (i = 0; i < el.length; i++) {
el[i].required = false;
}
} else {
for (i = 0; i < el.length; i++) {
el[i].required = true;
}
}
}
The javascript will ensure at least one checkbox is checked, then de-require the entire checkbox group. If the one checkbox that is checked becomes un-checked, then it will require all checkboxes, again!
I guess there's no standard HTML5 way to do this, but if you don't mind using a jQuery library, I've been able to achieve a "checkbox group" validation using webshims' "group-required" validation feature:
The docs for group-required say:
If a checkbox has the class 'group-required' at least one of the
checkboxes with the same name inside the form/document has to be
checked.
And here's an example of how you would use it:
<input name="checkbox-group" type="checkbox" class="group-required" id="checkbox-group-id" />
<input name="checkbox-group" type="checkbox" />
<input name="checkbox-group" type="checkbox" />
<input name="checkbox-group" type="checkbox" />
<input name="checkbox-group" type="checkbox" />
I mostly use webshims to polyfill HTML5 features, but it also has some great optional extensions like this one.
It even allows you to write your own custom validity rules. For example, I needed to create a checkbox group that wasn't based on the input's name, so I wrote my own validity rule for that...
we can do this easily with html5 also, just need to add some jquery code
Demo
HTML
<form>
<div class="form-group options">
<input type="checkbox" name="type[]" value="A" required /> A
<input type="checkbox" name="type[]" value="B" required /> B
<input type="checkbox" name="type[]" value="C" required /> C
<input type="submit">
</div>
</form>
Jquery
$(function(){
var requiredCheckboxes = $('.options :checkbox[required]');
requiredCheckboxes.change(function(){
if(requiredCheckboxes.is(':checked')) {
requiredCheckboxes.removeAttr('required');
} else {
requiredCheckboxes.attr('required', 'required');
}
});
});
Inspired by the answers from #thegauraw and #Brian Woodward, here's a bit I pulled together for JQuery users, including a custom validation error message:
$cbx_group = $("input:checkbox[name^='group']");
$cbx_group.on("click", function () {
if ($cbx_group.is(":checked")) {
// checkboxes become unrequired as long as one is checked
$cbx_group.prop("required", false).each(function () {
this.setCustomValidity("");
});
} else {
// require checkboxes and set custom validation error message
$cbx_group.prop("required", true).each(function () {
this.setCustomValidity("Please select at least one checkbox.");
});
}
});
Note that my form has some checkboxes checked by default.
Maybe some of you JavaScript/JQuery wizards could tighten that up even more?
I added an invisible radio to a group of checkboxes.
When at least one option is checked, the radio is also set to check.
When all options are canceled, the radio is also set to cancel.
Therefore, the form uses the radio prompt "Please check at least one option"
You can't use display: none because radio can't be focused.
I make the radio size equal to the entire checkboxes size, so it's more obvious when prompted.

You don't need jQuery for this. Here's a vanilla JS proof of concept using an event listener on a parent container (checkbox-group-required) of the checkboxes, the checkbox element's .checked property and Array#some.
const validate = el => {
const checkboxes = el.querySelectorAll('input[type="checkbox"]');
return [...checkboxes].some(e => e.checked);
};
const formEl = document.querySelector("form");
const statusEl = formEl.querySelector(".status-message");
const checkboxGroupEl = formEl.querySelector(".checkbox-group-required");
checkboxGroupEl.addEventListener("click", e => {
statusEl.textContent = validate(checkboxGroupEl) ? "valid" : "invalid";
});
formEl.addEventListener("submit", e => {
e.preventDefault();
if (validate(checkboxGroupEl)) {
statusEl.textContent = "Form submitted!";
// Send data from e.target to your backend
}
else {
statusEl.textContent = "Error: select at least one checkbox";
}
});
<form>
<div class="checkbox-group-required">
<input type="checkbox">
<input type="checkbox">
<input type="checkbox">
<input type="checkbox">
</div>
<input type="submit" />
<div class="status-message"></div>
</form>
If you have multiple groups to validate, add a loop over each group, optionally adding error messages or CSS to indicate which group fails validation:
const validate = el => {
const checkboxes = el.querySelectorAll('input[type="checkbox"]');
return [...checkboxes].some(e => e.checked);
};
const allValid = els => [...els].every(validate);
const formEl = document.querySelector("form");
const statusEl = formEl.querySelector(".status-message");
const checkboxGroupEls = formEl.querySelectorAll(".checkbox-group-required");
checkboxGroupEls.forEach(el =>
el.addEventListener("click", e => {
statusEl.textContent = allValid(checkboxGroupEls) ? "valid" : "invalid";
})
);
formEl.addEventListener("submit", e => {
e.preventDefault();
if (allValid(checkboxGroupEls)) {
statusEl.textContent = "Form submitted!";
}
else {
statusEl.textContent = "Error: select at least one checkbox from each group";
}
});
<form>
<div class="checkbox-group-required">
<label>
Group 1:
<input type="checkbox">
<input type="checkbox">
<input type="checkbox">

</div>
<div class="checkbox-group-required">
<label>
Group 2:

I realize there are a ton of solutions here, but I found none of them hit every requirement I had:
No custom coding required
Code works on page load
No custom classes required (checkboxes or their parent)
I needed several checkbox lists to share the same name for submitting Github issues via their API, and was using the name label[] to assign labels across many form fields (two checkbox lists and a few selects and textboxes) - granted I could have achieved this without them sharing the same name, but I decided to try it, and it worked.
The only requirement for this one is jQuery, which could easily be eliminated if you wanted to rewrite it in vanilla JS. You can combine this with #ewall's great solution to add custom validation error messages.
/* required checkboxes */
jQuery(function ($) {
var $requiredCheckboxes = $("input[type='checkbox'][required]");
/* init all checkbox lists */
$requiredCheckboxes.each(function (i, el) {
//this could easily be changed to suit different parent containers
var $checkboxList = $(this).closest("div, span, p, ul, td");
if (!$checkboxList.hasClass("requiredCheckboxList"))
$checkboxList.addClass("requiredCheckboxList");
});
var $requiredCheckboxLists = $(".requiredCheckboxList");
$requiredCheckboxLists.each(function (i, el) {
var $checkboxList = $(this);
$checkboxList.on("change", "input[type='checkbox']", function (e) {
updateCheckboxesRequired($(this).parents(".requiredCheckboxList"));
});
updateCheckboxesRequired($checkboxList);
});
function updateCheckboxesRequired($checkboxList) {
var $chk = $checkboxList.find("input[type='checkbox']").eq(0),
cblName = $chk.attr("name"),
cblNameAttr = "[name='" + cblName + "']",
$checkboxes = $checkboxList.find("input[type='checkbox']" + cblNameAttr);
if ($checkboxList.find(cblNameAttr + ":checked").length > 0) {
$checkboxes.prop("required", false);
} else {
$checkboxes.prop("required", true);
}
}
});

Really simple way to verify if at least one checkbox is checked:
function isAtLeastOneChecked(name) {
let checkboxes = Array.from(document.getElementsByName(name));
return checkboxes.some(e => e.checked);
}
Then you can implement whatever logic you want to display an error.
Here is another simple trick using Jquery!!
HTML
<form id="hobbieform">
<div>
<input type="checkbox" name="hobbies[]">Coding
<input type="checkbox" name="hobbies[]">Gaming
<input type="checkbox" name="hobbies[]">Driving
</div>
</form>
JQuery
$('#hobbieform').on("submit", function (e) {
var arr = $(this).serialize().toString();
if(arr.indexOf("hobbies") < 0){
e.preventDefault();
alert("You must select at least one hobbie");
}
});
That's all.. this works because if none of the checkbox is selected, nothing as regards the checkbox group(including its name) is posted to the server
Pure JS solution:
const group = document.querySelectorAll('[name="myCheckboxGroup"]');
function requireLeastOneChecked() {
var atLeastOneChecked = false;
for (i = 0; i < group.length; i++)
if (group[i].checked)
atLeastOneChecked = true;
if (atLeastOneChecked)
for (i = 0; i < group.length; i++)
group[i].required = false;
else
for (i = 0; i < group.length; i++)
group[i].required = true;
}
requireLeastOneChecked(); // onload
group.forEach(function ($el) {
$el.addEventListener('click', function () { requireLeastOneChecked(); })
});
Hi just use a text box additional to group of check box.When clicking on any check box put values in to that text box.Make that that text box required and readonly.
A general Solution without change the submit event or knowing the name of the checkboxes
Build a Function, which marks the Checkbox as HTML5-Invalid
Extend Change-Event and check validity on the start
jQuery.fn.getSiblingsCheckboxes = function () {
let $this = $(this);
let $parent = $this.closest('form, .your-checkbox-listwrapper');
return $parent.find('input[type="checkbox"][name="' + $this.attr('name')+'"]').filter('*[required], *[data-required]');
}
jQuery.fn.checkRequiredInputs = function() {
return this.each(function() {
let $this = $(this);
let $parent = $this.closest('form, .your-checkbox-list-wrapper');
let $allInputs = $this.getSiblingsCheckboxes();
if ($allInputs.filter(':checked').length > 0) {
$allInputs.each(function() {
// this.setCustomValidity(''); // not needed
$(this).removeAttr('required');
$(this).closest('li').css('color', 'green'); // for debugging only
});
} else {
$allInputs.each(function() {
// this.reportValidity(); // not needed
$(this).attr('required', 'required');
$(this).closest('li').css('color', 'red'); // for debugging only
});
}
return true;
});
};
$(document).ready(function() {
$('input[type="checkbox"][required="required"], input[type="checkbox"][required]').not('*[data-required]').not('*[disabled]').each(function() {
let $input = $(this);
let $allInputs = $input.getSiblingsCheckboxes();
$input.attr('data-required', 'required');
$input.removeAttr('required');
$input.on('change', function(event) {
$input.checkRequiredInputs();
});
});
$('input[type="checkbox"][data-required="required"]').checkRequiredInputs();

I'm having trouble display value of radio button
when I click on the radio buttons,
I want to see all the values of buttons in the box.
its shows values on the console but in the box, it only shows 'carrot' which is one of ingredients in the array.
function mixRecipeBox(){
var mixIngredients = document.getElementsByTagName('input');
for(i=0; i<mixIngredients.length; i++){
if(mixIngredients[i].checked)
console.log(mixIngredients[i].value);
document.getElementById('mixbox').innerHTML = mixIngredients[i].value;
}
}
You are replacing all data of mixbox in each loop. use this to
append data.
You forgot {} for if block
Empty mixbox on start of function.
use checkbox instead of radio so user can discard choice.
function mixRecipeBox(){
document.getElementById('mixbox').innerHTML=""
var currentHTML;
var mixIngredients = document.getElementsByTagName('input');
for(i=0; i<mixIngredients.length; i++){

<input type="checkbox" value="3" onchange="mixRecipeBox()">
<input type="checkbox" value="4" onchange="mixRecipeBox()">
<div id="mixbox"></div>
Loop over each radio element and assign a click event handler.
The radio button click handler first clears the mixbox, then loops over each radio element and puts checked radio button values in the mixbox.
<div id="rads">
<input type="radio" value="one" />1
<input type="radio" value="two" />2
<input type="radio" value="three" />3
</div>
<div id="mixbox"></div>
<script>
var rads = document.querySelectorAll('#rads input[type=radio]');
var mixbox = document.getElementById('mixbox');
Array.prototype.forEach.call(rads, function (elem) {
elem.addEventListener('click', function (evt) {
mixbox.innerHTML = '';
Array.prototype.forEach.call(rads, function (ele) {
if ( ele.checked ) { mixbox.innerHTML += ele.value + '<br>'; }
})
})
})
</script>

I have some set of radio button. I am trying to get checked radio button value using java script. But I got the error of uncaught id. I do the following code in html 5. I am not getting the value.
function timeout()
{
if (document.getElementById["RadioButton1"].checked)
{
choice = document.getElementById["RadioButton1"].value;
alert('choice');
}
if (document.getElementById["RadioButton2"].checked)
{
choice = document.getElementById["RadioButton2"].value;
alert('choice');
}
if (document.getElementById["RadioButton3"].checked)
{
choice = document.getElementById["RadioButton3"].value;
alert('choice');
}
if (document.getElementById["RadioButton4"].checked)
{
choice = document.getElementById["RadioButton4"].value;
alert('choice');
}
var c = document.getElementById("label1").value;
}
If you use the same name(in same radio button group) for all radio buttons like this
<input type="radio" id="RadioButton1" name="radio_group" value="1"/>
<input type="radio" id="RadioButton2" name="radio_group" value="2"/>
<input type="radio" id="RadioButton3" name="radio_group" value="3"/>
you can get the selected(checked radio button value ) using jQuery,in one line.
var Val = $("input[name=radio_group]:checked").val();
A set of radio buttons should all have the same name. So get the set, find the checked one and read its value:
function getValue(name) {
var rbs = document.getElementsByName(name);
for (var i=0, iLen=rbs.length, i<iLen; i++) {
if (rbs[i].checked) {
return rbs[i].value;
}
}
}
If the controls are in a form (which the usually are) and you have a reference to the form, you can get the set using:
var rbs = formRef[name];
$(document).ready(function(){
$('#btnsubmit').click(function(){
var result = $('input[type="radio"]:checked');
if (result.length > 0) {
$('#result').html(result.val()+" is Checked");
}else{
$('#result').html(" No radio button is Checked");
}
});
});
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.8.3/jquery.min.js"></script>
<input type="radio" name="gender" value="Male"> Male
<input type="radio" name="gender" value="Female"> Female
<input type="submit" id="btnsubmit" value="submit">
<div id="result"></div>
The major problem visible from your code is a syntax error.
document.getElementById is a method and not an object, so you should call it with parens:
// --------------------v--------------v
document.getElementById("RadioButton1").value
This is ans for #yogi comment(
how we can implement same for checkboxes?)
$(document).ready(function(){

Im trying to create a javascript block inside of a webpage im working on. I havent done javascript since highschool and it doesnt seem to want to come back to me :(
In this block of code i want to have 4 sets of radio buttons, each time a selection is picked,
a price will be inputed to a variable for each radio group. i.e
var firstPrice = $25
var secondPrice = $56
var thirdPrice = $80
var fourthPrice = $90
then after each radio group has one selection there will be a function attached to the submit button that adds up each price to display the final amount inside of a hidden field
var totalPrice = (firstPrice + secondPrice + thirdPrice + fourthPrice)
My question is, how do i attach a number value to a radio button within a group, same name but id is different in each group. Then do i just create a function that adds all the price groups up and then set the submit button to onClick = totalPrice();
Here is an example of one set of radio buttons:
<label>
<input type="radio" name="model" value="radio" id="item_0" />
item 1</label>
<br />
<label>
<input type="radio" name="model" value="radio" id="item_1" />
item2</label>
<br />
<label>
<input type="radio" name="model" value="radio" id="item_2" />
item3</label>
<br />
<label>
<input type="radio" name="model" value="radio" id="item_3" />
Item4</label>
<br />
<label>
<input type="radio" name="model" value="radio" id="item_4" />
item5</label>
</form>
then my script looks something like:
function finalPrice90{
var selectionFirst = document.modelGroup.value;
var selectionSecond = document.secondGroup.value;
var selectionThird = document.thirdGroup.value;
var selectionFourth = document.fourthGroup.Value;
var totalPrice = (selectionFirst + selectionSecond + selectionThird + selectionFourth);
}

Set the value attribute of your radio inputs to the price each radio button should represent.
When it's time to calculate, simply loop through each group and get the value attribute if the checked radio.
Because the value attribute is a string representation of a number, you'll want to convert it back to a number before doing any math (but that's a simple parseInt or parseFloat).
Here's a working fiddle using pure JavaScript: http://jsfiddle.net/XxZwm/
A library like jQuery or Prototype (or MooTools, script.aculo.us, etc) may make this easier in the long run, depending on how much DOM manipulation code you don't want to re-invent a wheel for.
Your requirements seem pretty simple, here's an example that should answer most questions. There is a single click listener on the form so whenever there is a click on a form control, the price will be updated.
<script type="text/javascript">
//function updatePrice(el) {
function updatePrice(event) {
var el = event.target || event.srcElement;
var form = el.form;
if (!form) return;
var control, controls = form.elements;
var totalPrice = 0;
var radios;
for (var i=0, iLen=controls.length; i<iLen; i++) {
control = controls[i];
if ((control.type == 'radio' || control.type == 'checkbox') && control.checked) {
totalPrice += Number(control.value);
}
// Deal with other types of controls if necessary
}
form.totalPrice.value = '$' + totalPrice;
}
</script>
<form>
<fieldset><legend>Model 1</legend>
<input type="radio" name="model1" value="25">$25<br>
<input type="radio" name="model1" value="35">$35<br>
<input type="radio" name="model1" value="45">$45<br>
<input type="radio" name="model1" value="55">$55<br>
</fieldset>
<fieldset><legend>Model 2</legend>
<input type="radio" name="model2" value="1">$1<br>
<input type="radio" name="model2" value="2">$2<br>
<input type="radio" name="model2" value="3">$3<br>
<input type="radio" name="model2" value="4">$4<br>
<fieldset><legend>Include shipping?</legend>
<span>$5</span><input type="checkbox" value="5" name="shipping"><br>
</fieldset>
<input name="totalPrice" readonly><br>
<input type="reset" value="Clear form">
</form>
You could put a single listener on the form for click events and update the price automatically, in that case you can get rid of the update button.
