How to check whether a checkbox is checked in jQue

Question

I need to check the checked property of a checkbox and perform an action based on the checked property using jQuery.

For example, if the age checkbox is checked, then I need to show a textbox to enter age, else hide the textbox.

But the following code returns false by default:

if ($('#isAgeSelected').attr('checked'))
{
    $("#txtAge").show();
}
else
{
    $("#txtAge").hide();
}

How do I successfully query the checked property?

Answer 1

If you are using an updated version of jquery, you must go for .prop method to resolve your issue:

$('#isAgeSelected').prop('checked') will return true if checked and false if unchecked. I confirmed it and I came across this issue earlier. $('#isAgeSelected').attr('checked') and $('#isAgeSelected').is('checked') is returning undefined which is not a worthy answer for the situation. So do as given below.

if($('#isAgeSelected').prop('checked')) {
    $("#txtAge").show();
} else {
    $("#txtAge").hide();
}

Hope it helps :)- Thanks.

This example is for button.

Try the following:

<input type="button" class="check" id="checkall" value="Check All" />  &nbsp; <input type="button" id="remove" value="Delete" /> <br/>

<input type="checkbox" class="cb-element"  value="1" /> Checkbox  1 <br/>
<input type="checkbox" class="cb-element"  value="2" /> Checkbox  2 <br/>
<input type="checkbox" class="cb-element"  value="3" /> Checkbox  3 <br/>


$('#remove').attr('disabled', 'disabled'); 

$(document).ready(function() {  

    $('.cb-element').click(function() {

        if($(this).prop('checked'))
        {
            $('#remove').attr('disabled', false);
        }
        else
        {
            $('#remove').attr('disabled', true);
        }
    });   

    $('.check:button').click(function()
{
    var checked = !$(this).data('checked');
    $('input:checkbox').prop('checked', checked);
    $(this).data('checked', checked);

    if(checked == true)
    {
        $(this).val('Uncheck All');
         $('#remove').attr('disabled', false);
    }

    else if(checked == false)
    {
        $(this).val('Check All');
        $('#remove').attr('disabled', true);
    }
});
});

Use:

<input type="checkbox" name="planned_checked" checked id="planned_checked"> Planned

$("#planned_checked").change(function() {
    if($(this).prop('checked')) {
        alert("Checked Box Selected");
    } else {
        alert("Checked Box deselect");
    }
});

    $("#planned_checked").change(function() {
        if($(this).prop('checked')) {
            alert("Checked Box Selected");
        } else {
            alert("Checked Box deselect");
        }
    });

<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.11.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<input type="checkbox" name="planned_checked" checked id="planned_checked"> Planned

$(document).ready(function() {    
    $('#agecheckbox').click(function() {
        if($(this).is(":checked"))
        {
            $('#agetextbox').show();
        } else {
            $('#agetextbox').hide();
        }
    });
});

Answer 5

Use:

<input type="checkbox" id="abc" value="UDB">UDB
<input type="checkbox" id="abc" value="Prasad">Prasad

$('input#abc').click(function(){
  if($(this).is(':checked'))
  {
    var checkedOne=$(this).val()
    alert(checkedOne);

    // Do some other action
  }
})

This can help if you want that the required action has to be done only when you check the box not at the time you remove the check.

Answer 6

I am using this:

 <input type="checkbox" id="isAgeSelected" value="1" /> <br/>
 <input type="textbox" id="txtAge" />

 $("#isAgeSelected").is(':checked') ? $("#txtAge").show() : $("#txtAge").hide();
