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');
});

<input checked="checked" type="checkbox">
<input checked="checked" type="checkbox">
I have a table with a checkbox in each row and a button below it. I want to disable the button if at least one checkbox is checked.
<tbody>
<tr>
<td>
<input class="myCheckBox" type="checkbox"></input>
</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
<button type=submit id="confirmButton"> BUTTON </button>
The jQuery I came up with to accomplish this is the following:
$('tbody').click(function () {
$('tbody tr').each(function () {
if ($(this).find('.myCheckBox').prop('checked')) {
doEnableButton = true;
}
if (!doEnableButton) {
$('#confirmButton').prop('disabled', 'disabled')
}
else {
$('#confirmButton').removeAttr("disabled");
}
});
});
Naturally, this does not work. Otherwise I would not be here. What it does do is only respond to the lowest checkbox (e.g., when the lowest button is checked/unchecked the button is enabled/disabled).
I made a JSFIddle here although it does not show the same behaviour as locally.
Does any know how I can accomplish that it responds to all checkboxes and disables the button if they are ALL disabled?
Try this:
var checkBoxes = $('tbody .myCheckBox');
checkBoxes.change(function () {
$('#confirmButton').prop('disabled', checkBoxes.filter(':checked').length < 1);
});
checkBoxes.change(); // or add disabled="true" in the HTML
Demo
Explanation, to what I changed:
Cached the checkbox element list/array to make it a bit faster: var checkBoxes = $('tbody .myCheckBox');
removed the if/else statement and used prop() to change between disable= true/false.
filtered the cached variable/array checkBoxes using filter() so it will only keep the checkboxes that are checked/selected.
inside the second parameter of prop added a condition that will give true when there is more than one checked checkbox, or false if the condition is not met.
Add an event handler that fires when a checkbox is changed, and see if there are any checked boxes, and set the disabled property appropriately :
var boxes = $('.myCheckBox');
boxes.on('change', function() {
$('#confirmButton').prop('disabled', !boxes.filter(':checked').length);
}).trigger('change');
FIDDLE
Try this:
$('tbody').click(function () {
if ($('.myCheckBox:checked').length >= 1) {
$('#confirmButton').prop("disabled", true);
}
else {
$('#confirmButton').prop("disabled", false);
}
});
DEMO
Try this one:
let $cbs = $(".myCheckBox").change(function() {
if ($cbs.is(":checked")){
// disable #confirmButton if at least one checkboxes were checked
$("#confirmButton").prop("disabled", false);
} else {
// disable #confirmButton if all checkboxes were unchecked
$("#confirmButton").prop("disabled", true);
}
});
i want do something like this with a checkBox. if the user clicks on the checkbox, it should change its state (checked -> unchecked and vv. ).
my code:
$('#checkBoxStandard').change(function() {
clickedFormBoxen('standard');
});
function clickedFormBoxen(active){
if(active == 'standard'){
if( $('#checkBoxStandard').is(":checked")){
$('#checkBoxStandard').prop("checked", false);
}else{
$('#checkBoxStandard').prop("checked", true);
}
console.log('ac: '+$('#checkBoxStandard').is(':checked'));
}
Unfortunately, the checkbox will not be unchecked again. The fist time, the checkbox is getting checked, but if i click on it again, nothing happens, it's still checked.
I wish to use this code so i can change the state of the checkbox by function call and not just by user interaction.
Please help me and sorry for my english^^
Try
$('#checkBoxStandard').removeAttr("checked");
You mean something like this? (jsFiddle)
HTML
<input type="checkbox" id="checkbox">
<label for="checkbox">Hey,check me!</label>
JavaScript
var respond = true;
function manualCheck(state)
{
respond = false;
$('#checkbox').prop("checked", state);
}
$('#checkbox').change(function ()
{
if (!respond)
{
respond = true;
return;
}
// Your code
}
As i've mentionend in my comment to your question, with your function clickedFormBoxen you effectively revert the effect of a user interaction on the checkbox element. Thus it seems that you have to call the change handler from a click handler on your checkbox element (i've streamlined the code a bit):
function clickedFormBoxen(active) {
if (active == 'standard') {
$('#checkBoxStandard').prop("checked", !($('#checkBoxStandard').prop("checked")));
}
}
$(document).ready( function(){
$('#checkBoxStandard').change( function(e) {
clickedFormBoxen('standard');
1;
});
$('#checkBoxStandard').click(function(e) {
$('#checkBoxStandard').change();
1;
});
});
Currently Im have the following script which checks to see if a checkbox value has changed but its not working when I try to use it!
<script>
$('input[type=checkbox]').change(function () {
if ($(this).is(':checked')) {
if ($(this).prev().attr('checked') && $(this).val() != $(this).prev().val()) {
alert("previous checkbox has same value");
}
}
});
</script>
<input name="" type="checkbox" value="here"/>(if this was checked)
<input name="" type="checkbox" value="here"/>(then this)
<input name="" type="checkbox" value="there"/>(would not allow prompt alert)
<input name="" type="checkbox" value="here"/>(would allow)
you can see it working here yet it does not work when i try to use it
http://jsfiddle.net/rajaadil/LgxPn/7
The idea is to alert when a checked checkbox value is different from the previously checked checkbox value!
Currently my checkbox look like
<input type="checkbox" name="checkbox[]" onClick="getVal();setChecks(this)" value="`key`=<?php echo $rspatient['key']?>" class="chk" id="chk<?php echo $a++?>"/>
I thought the function ('input[type=checkbox]').change(function() would get these but im wrong somewhere?
To select the previous checked sibling checkbox, use this:
$(this).prevAll(":checked:first")
I expected to use :last, but :first is what works. This is counter-intuitive to me and inconsistent with how :first and :last usually work, but I tested it in several browsers and the result is consistent.
$(':checkbox').change(function() {
if (this.checked) {
var lastChecked = $(this).prevAll(":checked:first");
if (this.value == lastChecked.val()) {
alert("previous checked box has same value");
}
}
});
Demo: http://jsfiddle.net/LgxPn/15/
Edit: If by "previously checked checkbox" you mean the last box the user clicked, then you'll need to keep track of that yourself. There's no built-in jQuery method that will tell you anything about click history.
What happens when the user first checks several boxes, and then checks and immediately unchecks a box? Should the next most recently checked box be used? If so, then you need to keep track of all checked boxes, and what order they were clicked. Here's how you can keep track of the checked boxes:
var lastChecked = [];
$(':checkbox').change(function() {
if (this.checked) {
if (lastChecked.length && this.value == lastChecked[0].value) {
alert("the last box you checked has the same value");
}
lastChecked.unshift(this);
}
else {
lastChecked.splice(lastChecked.indexOf(this), 1);
}
});
Demo: http://jsfiddle.net/LgxPn/21/
Just a guess (with some better syntax), try this:
<script type="text/javascript">
$(function() {
$('input:checkbox').change(function() {
if($(this).is(':checked'))
{
if ($(this).prev().prop('checked') && $(this).val() != $(this).prev().val()) {
alert("previous checkbox has same value");
}
}
});
});
</script>
Your alert message and your if statement don't match. You check to see if the values !=, but the alert says they are equal. I'm assuming the alert is the case you want to check for. Try:
$(':checkbox').change(function() {
var $this = $(this);
var $prev = $this.prev();
if($this.is(':checked')) {
if($prev.is(':checked') && $this.val() === $prev.val()) {
alert('Previous checkbox has same value');
}
}
});
And as the others mentioned, make sure this is all within a $(document).ready() block
This seems to work for me in Chrome:
$(function() {
$('input[type=checkbox]').click(function() {
if ($(this).is(':checked')) {
if ($(this).prev().prop('checked')) {
if ($(this).val() != $(this).prev('input[type=checkbox]').val()) {
alert("previous checkbox has same value");
}
}
}
});
});
Here's a JSFiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/gy8EQ/
I have a series of checkboxes that are loaded 100 at a time via ajax.
I need this jquery to allow me to have a button when pushed check all on screen. If more are loaded, and the button is pressed, to perhaps toggle all off, then pressed again toggle all back on.
This is what i have, obviously its not working for me.
$(function () {
$('#selectall').click(function () {
$('#friendslist').find(':checkbox').attr('checked', this.checked);
});
});
The button is #selectall, the check boxes are class .tf, and they all reside in a parent div called #check, inside a div called #friend, inside a div called #friendslist
Example:
<div id='friendslist'>
<div id='friend'>
<div id='check'>
<input type='checkbox' class='tf' name='hurr' value='durr1'>
</div>
</div>
<div id='friend'>
<div id='check'>
<input type='checkbox' class='tf' name='hurr' value='durr2'>
</div>
</div>
<div id='friend'>
<div id='check'>
<input type='checkbox' class='tf' name='hurr' value='durr3'>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<input type='button' id='selectall' value="Select All">
I know I'm revisiting an old thread, but this page shows up as one of the top results in Google when this question is asked. I am revisiting this because in jQuery 1.6 and above, prop() should be used for "checked" status instead of attr() with true or false being passed. More info here.
For example, Henrick's code should now be:
$(function () {
$('#selectall').toggle(
function() {
$('#friendslist .tf').prop('checked', true);
},
function() {
$('#friendslist .tf').prop('checked', false);
}
);
});
$('#friendslist .tf')
this selector will suit your needs
Use the jquery toggle function. Then you can also perform whatever other changes you may want to do along with those changes... such as changing the value of the button to say "check all" or "uncheck all".
$(function () {
$('#selectall').toggle(
function() {
$('#friendslist .tf').attr('checked', 'checked');
},
function() {
$('#friendslist .tf').attr('checked', '');
}
);
});
A very simple check/uncheck all without the need of loop
<input type="checkbox" id="checkAll" /> Check / Uncheck All
<input type="checkbox" class="chk" value="option1" /> Option 1
<input type="checkbox" class="chk" value="option2" /> Option 2
<input type="checkbox" class="chk" value="option3" /> Option 3
And the javascript (jQuery) accounting for "undefined" on checkbox value
** UPDATE - using .prop() **
$("#checkAll").change(function(){
var status = $(this).is(":checked") ? true : false;
$(".chk").prop("checked",status);
});
** Previous Suggestion - may not work **
$("#checkAll").change(function(){
var status = $(this).attr("checked") ? "checked" : false;
$(".chk").attr("checked",status);
});
OR with the suggestion from the next post using .prop() combined into a single line
$("#checkAll").change(function(){
$(".chk").attr("checked",$(this).prop("checked"));
});
This is how I toggle checkboxes
$(document).ready(function() {
$('#Togglebutton').click(function() {
$('.checkBoxes').each(function() {
$(this).attr('checked',!$(this).attr('checked'));
});
});
});
maybe try this:
$(function () {
$('#selectall').click(function () {
$('#friendslist .tf').attr('checked', this.checked);
});
});
<div class="control-group">
<input type="checkbox" class="selAllChksInGroup"> All
<input type="checkbox" value="NE"> Nebraska
<input type="checkbox" value="FL"> Florida
</div>
$(document).ready(function(){
$("input[type=checkbox].selAllChksInGroup").on("click.chkAll", function( event ){
$(this).parents('.control-group:eq(0)').find(':checkbox').prop('checked', this.checked);
});
});
I could not get this last example to work for me. The correct way to query the state of the checkbox is apparently :
var status = $(this).prop("checked");
and not
var status = $(this).attr("checked") ? "checked" : false;
as above.
See jQuery receiving checkbox status
It works for me (IE, Safari, Firefox) by just changing your this.checked to 'checked'.
$(function() {
$('#selectall').click(function() {
$('#friendslist').find(':checkbox').attr('checked', 'checked');
});
});
You may try this:
$(function () {
$('#selectall').click(function () {
$('#friendslist input:checkbox').attr('checked', checked_status);
});
});
//checked_status=true/false -as the case may be, or set it via a variable
assuming #selectall is a checkbox itself whose state you want copied to all the other checkboxes?
$(function () {
$('#selectall').click(function () {
$('#friendslist input:checkbox').attr('checked', $(this).attr('checked'));
});
});
try this
var checkAll = function(){
var check_all = arguments[0];
var child_class = arguments[1];
if(arguments.length>2){
var uncheck_all = arguments[2];
$('#'+check_all).click(function (){
$('.'+child_class).attr('checked', true);
});
$('#'+uncheck_all).click(function (){
$('.'+child_class).attr('checked', false);
});
$('.'+child_class).click(function (){
var checkall_checked = true;
$('.'+child_class).each(function(){
if($(this).attr('checked')!=true){
checkall_checked = false;
}
});
if(checkall_checked == true){
$('#'+check_all).attr('checked', true);
$('#'+uncheck_all).attr('checked', false);
}else{
$('#'+check_all).attr('checked', false);
$('#'+uncheck_all).attr('checked', true);
}
});
}else{
$('#'+check_all).click(function (){
$('.'+child_class).attr('checked', $(this).attr('checked'));
});
$('.'+child_class).click(function (){
var checkall_checked = true;
$('.'+child_class).each(function(){
if($(this).attr('checked')!=true){
checkall_checked = false;
}
});
$('#'+check_all).attr('checked', checkall_checked);
});
}
};
To "check all" and "uncheck all" is same checkbox
checkAll("checkall_id", "child_checkboxes_class_name");
To "check all" and "uncheck all" is separate checkbox
checkAll("checkall_id", "child_checkboxes_class_name", "uncheckall_id");
Here is how I achieved it.
function SelectAllCheckBoxes();
{
$('#divSrchResults').find(':checkbox').attr('checked', $('#chkPrint').is(":checked"));
}
The following fires the above line.
<input type=checkbox id=chkPrint onclick='SelectAllCheckBoxes();' />
On the click of chkPrint , every checkbox in the grid divSrchResults' is either checked or unchecked depending on the status of chkPrint.
Of course, if you need advanced functions like unchecking the titled checkbox when every other checkbox has been unchecked, you need to write another function for this.
I created a function that I use on all projects. This is just the initial draft, but maybe it will help:
Function:
function selectAll(wrapperAll, wrapperInputs) {
var selectAll = wrapperAll.find('input');
var allInputs = wrapperInputs.find('input');
console.log('Checked inputs = ' + allInputs.filter(':not(:checked)').length);
function checkitems(allInputs) {
//If all items checked
if (allInputs.filter(':not(:checked)').length === 0) {
console.log('Function: checkItems: All items checked');
selectAll.attr('checked', true);
} else {
console.log('Function: checkItems: Else all items checked');
selectAll.attr('checked', false);
}
}
checkitems(allInputs);
allInputs.on('change', function () {
checkitems(allInputs)
});
selectAll.on('change', function () {
if (this.checked) {
console.log('This checkbox is checked');
wrapperInputs.find(':checkbox').attr('checked', true);
} else {
console.log('This checkbox is NOT checked');
wrapperInputs.find(':checkbox').attr('checked', false);
}
});
}
It accepts the 2 parameters where the inputs are wrapped into and you cand use-it like this:
$(function () {
var wrapperAll = $('.selectallinput');
var wrapperInputs = $('.inputs');
selectAll(wrapperAll, wrapperInputs);
});
See demo: http://jsfiddle.net/cHD9z/
So "checked" is a crappy attribute; in many browsers it doesn't work as expected :-( Try doing:
$('#friendslist').find(':checkbox')
.attr('checked', this.checked)
.attr('defaultChecked', this.checked);
I know setting "defaultChecked" doesn't make any sense, but try it and see if it helps.
<input type="checkbox" onclick="toggleChecked(this.checked)"> Select / Deselect All
Now here are two versions of the toggleChecked function dependent on the semantics of your document. The only real difference is the jQuery selector for your list checkboxes:
1: All checkboxes have a class of “checkbox” (<input type=”checkbox” class=”checkbox” />)
function toggleChecked(status) {
$(".checkbox").each( function() {
$(this).attr("checked",status);
})
}
2: All the checkboxes are contained within a div with an arbitary id:
<div id="checkboxes">
<input type="checkbox" />
<input type="checkbox" />
<input type="checkbox" />
</div>
In this case the function would look like this:
function toggleChecked(status) {
$("#checkboxes input").each( function() {
$(this).attr("checked",status);
})
Have fun!
This may work for both (checked/unchecked) selectall situations:
$(document).ready(function(){
$('#selectall').click(function () {
$("#friendslist .tf").attr("checked",function(){return $(this).attr("checked") ? false : true;});
});
});
The currently accepted answer won't work for jQuery 1.9+. The event handling aspect of the (rather heavily) overloaded .toggle() function was removed in that version, which means that attempting to call .toggle(function, function) will instead just toggle the display state of your element.
I'd suggest doing something like this instead:
$(function() {
var selectAll = $('#selectall');
selectAll.on('click', function(e) {
var checked = !(selectAll.data('checked') || false);
$('#friendslist .tf').prop('checked', checked);
selectAll.data('checked', checked);
});
});
That uses a regular click event handler, plus a data attribute to track the "toggled" status and invert it with each click.
Here's a basic jQuery plugin I wrote that selects all checkboxes on the page, except the checkbox/element that is to be used as the toggle. This, of course, could be amended to suit your needs:
(function($) {
// Checkbox toggle function for selecting all checkboxes on the page
$.fn.toggleCheckboxes = function() {
// Get all checkbox elements
checkboxes = $(':checkbox').not(this);
// Check if the checkboxes are checked/unchecked and if so uncheck/check them
if(this.is(':checked')) {
checkboxes.prop('checked', true);
} else {
checkboxes.prop('checked', false);
}
}
}(jQuery));
Then simply call the function on your checkbox or button element:
// Check all checkboxes
$('.check-all').change(function() {
$(this).toggleCheckboxes();
});
As you are adding and removing more checkboxes via AJAX, you may want to use this instead of .change():
// Check all checkboxes
$(document).on('change', '.check-all', function() {
$(this).toggleCheckboxes();
});
