So I'm having an issue trying to implement materializecss' checkbox with @Html.CheckBoxFor. If I input exactly:
<input type="checkbox" id="test5" />
<label for="test5">Red</label>
it works. But if I try this:
@Html.LabelFor(m => m.RememberMe, new { @class = "login-label" })
@Html.CheckBoxFor(m => m.RememberMe, new { @type = "checkbox" })
the checkbox disappears way off the page to the left (the style of the checkbox gets its left set to -99999).
Is there any other way I can implement CheckBoxFor that would make materialize cooperate?
I Was having same problem and the order of ChecBoxFor and LabelFor were like peter.edwards suggest. For me the problem was caused by a hidden element generated by @Html.CheckBoxFor:
<input checked="checked" class="check-box" data-val="true" id="IsActive" name="IsActive" type="checkbox" value="true">
<input name="IsActive" type="hidden" value="false">
<label for="IsActive">IsActive</label>
What I did to solve the problem was, move the hidden element to the bottom of the parent element:
$("input[type='hidden']").each(function (index, element) {
$(this).appendTo($(element).parent());
});
Try reversing your checkbox and label render order...
@Html.CheckBoxFor(m => m.RememberMe, new { @type = "checkbox" })
@Html.LabelFor(m => m.RememberMe, new { @class = "login-label" })
Case 1:
@Html.LableFor(x=>x.IsVpn)
@Html.CheckBoxFor(x=>x.IsVpn) (Suppose)
render like that
<lable for="IsVpn">
<input type="checkbox" name="IsVpn" value="true"/>
<input type="hidden" name="IsVpn" value="false"/>
But We Need like that For materialize css
<input type="checkbox" name="IsVpn" value="true"/>
<lable for="IsVpn">
<input type="hidden" name="IsVpn" value="false"/>
Case 2:
@Html.CheckBoxFor(x=>x.IsVpn) (Suppose)
@Html.LableFor(x=>x.IsVpn)
Now What happen:
<input type="checkbox" name="IsVpn" value="true"/>
<input type="hidden" name="IsVpn" value="false"/>
<lable name="IsVpn">
But our requirement is for materilize css :
<input type="checkbox" name="IsVpn" value="true"/>
<lable name="IsVpn">
<input type="hidden" name="IsVpn" value="false"/>
So we can't use @Html.CheckBoxFor materializ css directly
but it we can use output:
<input type="checkbox" name="IsVpn" value="true"/>
<lable name="IsVpn">
<input type="hidden" name="IsVpn" value="false"/>
it will work exactly same as checkboxfor.
But If we want razor syntax then we need to customize checkboxfor and need to make a extension..
