How to change the checkbox value using jQuery ?
The Checkboxes are used to let a user select one or more options for a limited number of choices. The :checkbox selector selects input elements with type checkbox.
Syntax:
$('#textboxID').val($("#checkboxID").is(':checked'));In the above syntax, basically the return value of the checked or unchecked checkbox is being assigned to the textbox. Below examples will illustrate the approach:
Example 1: Here the return value of the checkbox is assigned to the textbox with a function click() whenever the checkbox is clicked to check or uncheck, it assigns the respective return value into the textbox. So, if we want to assign a certain user-defined value in the textbox according to check then we can do that with the use of if/else statement.
html
<!DOCTYPE html><html> <head> <script src= </script> <script> $(document).ready(function() { // Set initial state $('#textbox2').val($(this).is(':checked')); // It gets checked to false as uncheck // is the default $('#checkbox1').click(function() { $('#textbox2').val($(this).is(':checked')); }); }); </script></head> <body> <center> <h1 style="color:green;"> GeeksforGeeks </h1> <p> A Computer Science Portal for Geeks </p> <input type="checkbox" id="checkbox1" /> Check if true, Uncheck if false. <br><br> <input type="text" id="textbox2" /> </center></body> </html> |
Output:
Example 2: This example contains more than one checkboxes.
javascript
<!DOCTYPE html><html> <head> <script src= </script> <script> $(document).ready(function() { // Set initial state $('#textbox1').val('no'); // Returns yes or no in textbox1 // when checked and unchecked $('#checkbox1').click(function() { if ($("#checkbox1").is(":checked") == true) { $('#textbox1').val('yes'); } else { $('#textbox1').val('no'); } }); // Returns male in textbox2 if checkbox2 checked. $('#checkbox2').click(function() { if ($('#checkbox2').is(":checked") == true) { $('#textbox2').val('Male'); } else { $('#textbox2').val(''); } }); // Returns female in textbox2 // if checkbox2 checked. $('#checkbox3').change(function() { if ($('#checkbox3').is(":checked") == true) { $('#textbox2').val('Female'); } else { $('#textbox2').val(''); } }); }); </script></head> <body> <center> <h1 style="color:green"> GeeksforGeeks </h1> <p> A Computer Science Portal for Geeks </p> <input type="checkbox" id="checkbox1" /> Check If yes! <br> <input type="text" id="textbox1" /> <br> <input type="checkbox" id="checkbox2" /> Male <input type="checkbox" id="checkbox3" /> Female <br> <input type="text" id="textbox2" /> </center></body> </html> |
