jQuery if checkbox is checked

Question

I have a function below that I want to only trigger when a checkbox in the same tr is checked. Please tell me what I am doing wrong, the usual methods are not working. Thanks

JS

$(".add_menu_item_table").live('click', function() {
  var value_td = $(this).parents('tr').find('td.td_name').text();
  if ($('input.checkbox_check').attr(':checked')); {
    var newDiv = $('<div class="div_menu_button"></div>');
    var showDiv = $('<div id="show' + "0" + numShow++ + '" class="menu_button_info hidden"></div>');
    var toggleTrigger = $('<a id="toggleshow' + "0" + numToggle++ + '" data-target="#show' + "0" + numTarget++ + '" class="toggle_trigger actions">&nbsp;</a><div style="padding:5px"></div>');
    var menuForm = $('<form id="menu_edit_form' + "0" + numForm++ + '" class="menu_creation_form"></form>');
    $('#created_buttons_list').append(
      newDiv.text(value_td)
    );
    newDiv.wrap("<li></li>");
    newDiv.append(toggleTrigger);
    newDiv.append(showDiv);
    showDiv.append(menuForm);
    menuForm.html('<label for="navigation_label">Navigation Label</label><input id="navigation_label' + "0" + numLabelone++ + '" type="text" placeholder="Navigation Label" name="navigation_label"><label for="attribute">Attribute</label><input id="attribute' + "0" + numLabeltwo++ + '" type="text" type="text" placeholder="Attribute" name="attribute"><label for="url">URL</label><input id="url' + "0" + numLabelthree++ + '" type="text" type="text" placeholder="URL" name="url"><input type="button" value="Remove" class="button_link remove_button"> <input type="reset" value="Cancel" class="button_link">');
  }
});

var numToggle = 0;
var numShow = 0;
var numTarget = 0;
var numForm = 0;
var numLabelone = 0;
var numLabeltwo = 0;
var numLabelthree = 0;

Answer 1

if ($('input.checkbox_check').is(':checked')) {

Answer 2

for jQuery 1.6 or higher:

if ($('input.checkbox_check').prop('checked')) {
    //blah blah
}

the cross-browser-compatible way to determine if a checkbox is checked is to use the property https://api.jquery.com/prop/

Answer 3

this $('#checkboxId').is(':checked') for verify if is checked

& this $("#checkboxId").prop('checked', true) to check

& this $("#checkboxId").prop('checked', false) to uncheck

Answer 4

If none of the above solutions work for any reason, like my case, try this:

  <script type="text/javascript">
    $(function()
    {
      $('[name="my_checkbox"]').change(function()
      {
        if ($(this).is(':checked')) {
           // Do something...
           alert('You can rock now...');
        };
      });
    });
  </script>

Answer 5

If checked:

$( "SELECTOR" ).attr( "checked" )  // Returns ‘true’ if present on the element, returns undefined if not present
$( "SELECTOR" ).prop( "checked" ) // Returns true if checked, false if unchecked.
$( "SELECTOR" ).is( ":checked" ) // Returns true if checked, false if unchecked.

Get the checked val:

$( "SELECTOR:checked" ).val()

Get the checked val numbers:

$( "SELECTOR:checked" ).length

Check or uncheck checkbox

$( "SELECTOR" ).prop( "disabled", false );
$( "SELECTOR" ).prop( "checked", true );

Answer 6

See main difference between ATTR | PROP | IS below:

Source: http://api.jquery.com/attr/

$( "input" )
  .change(function() {
    var $input = $( this );
    $( "p" ).html( ".attr( 'checked' ): <b>" + $input.attr( "checked" ) + "</b><br>" +
      ".prop( 'checked' ): <b>" + $input.prop( "checked" ) + "</b><br>" +
      ".is( ':checked' ): <b>" + $input.is( ":checked" ) + "</b>" );
  })
  .change();

p {
    margin: 20px 0 0;
  }
  b {
    color: blue;
  }

<meta charset="utf-8">
  <title>attr demo</title>
  <script src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.10.2.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
 
<input id="check1" type="checkbox" checked="checked">
<label for="check1">Check me</label>
<p></p>
 

 
</body>
</html>

Answer 7

to check input and get confirm by check box ,use this script...

 $(document).on("change", ".inputClass", function () {
    if($(this).is(':checked')){
     confirm_message = $(this).data('confirm');
       var confirm_status = confirm(confirm_message);
                        if (confirm_status == true) {
                           //doing somethings...
                         }
                   }});  

<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.3.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<label> check action </lable>
<input class="inputClass" type="checkbox" data-confirm="are u sure to do ...?" >

Answer 8

New to jQuery/Javascript and tried the above solutions. Eventually, this is what worked for me to:

1. keep elements hidden upon loading page (because checkboxes = unchecked by default), and then
2. have elements show/hide based on whether the checkbox is checked or not.

It's probably a little ugly/redundant/extraneous syntax-wise, but it works for now!

Note: this all goes in the following <script> tag, right before the </body> tag on your HTML page:

<script type="text/javascript">
   // 'solution code' goes here...
</script>

'solution code':

    $(document).ready(function(){

          // HIDE ELEMENTS UPON PAGE LOAD (CHECKBOX = UNCHECKED)
          if ($([id="show_box"]).is(':checked') == false)
                $("#hiddenDiv").hide();

          // SHOW/HIDE ELEMENTS VIA CHECKBOX STATUS
          $('[id="show_box"]').change(function()
          {
            if ($(this).is(':checked'))
                $("#hiddenDiv").fadeIn();
            else
                $("#hiddenDiv").fadeOut();
          });

    });

• [id="show_box"] (the checkbox, with id 'show_box')
• #hiddenDiv (the id of the element I want to hide/show)
• this (since it's nested, it ends up representing 'show_box')

And here is the HTML code on the page, which the 'solution code' is referring to:

<!-- CHECKBOX -->
<input type="checkbox" id="show_box" name="box" value="">

<!-- ELEMENT THAT SHOWS/HIDES -->
<div id="hiddenDiv"></div>
