JavaScript - Using Buttons To Check And Uncheck Checkboxes
I'm trying to write some code that uses buttons to check and uncheck certain checkboxes. I am stumped and all the code I have been finding is using for loops to check or uncheck all the boxes, when I just want to check or uncheck certain ones.
Here's an example of the type of function I'm trying to use: Code: function checkSome (form) { document.myForm.list.one.checked = true; document.myForm.list.two.checked = true; document.myForm.list.three.checked = false; } And the button: Code: <input type="button" value="Option 1" onClick="checkSome(this.form)"/> Similar TutorialsHello, I have a simple script that counts the number of check boxes that are checked and then when reaches a certain number displays an alert. It is triggered by the onclick event. My question is, by keeping with the onclick event how do I make JS run something different when a box is unchecked. So bottom line - if it is checked the counter goes up...if it is unchecked the counter goes down all being triggered by the onclick event - is this possible. Below is the code I have been working with. The only part that is working is the middle if statement - the part where it is checking to see if the counter is equal to 6 Code: // JavaScript Document var count = 0 function checkedcount(which) { if (which.checked = true;) {count = count + 1} if (count == 6) { alert('Only pick 5'); count = count - 1; which.checked = false; } if (which.checked = false;) {count = count - 1} } Is it possible to use Javascript to uncheck all checkboxes that appear within a specific div? I'm already using names/ids for each checkbox, and these are generated dynamically, so I cant really apply a group to all the checkboxes I want to untick. I am using some code in a form to show an image if a checkbox is selected. A different image is shown for each checkbox. The code works well, but I need some help to update the code so that only one of the four checkboxes can be selected at any one time. If one is checked and the user selects a different one, the original one should automatically untick and the associated image should change as well. To summarise, I want only one image and one checkbox to show at any one time (and it needs to be cross browser please). Here is the code : <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd"> <html> <head> <title>Untitled Document</title> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"> <script language="JavaScript"> <!-- function toggle(target) { obj=(document.all)? document.all[target] : document.getElementById(target); obj.style.display=(obj.style.display=='none')?

So I have a pretty simple survey form, with 5 checkbox answers, one of them being "None of the Above". All 5 are part of the same question1[] array. My goal is to have a function that unchecks the other 4 boxes when None of the Above is checked. The problem is that since None of the Above is part of the question1 array, it unchecks itself. So how do I separate this None of the Above option? After all, it is still a valid answer to question 1, so I don't want it to sit in a different array just because... Here's what I have now: Java: Code: function SetValues(Form, CheckBox, Value) { var objCheckBoxes = document.forms[Form].elements[CheckBox]; var countCheckBoxes = objCheckBoxes.length; for(var i = 0; i < countCheckBoxes; i++) objCheckBoxes[i].checked = Value; } html: Code: <input id="question1" name="question1[]" type="checkbox" value="Answer 1"> 1<br> <input id="question1" name="question1[]" type="checkbox" value="Answer 2"> 2<br> <input id="question1" name="question1[]" type="checkbox" value="Answer 3"> 3<br> <input id="question1" name="question1[]" type="checkbox" value="Answer 4"> 4<br> <input id="question1" name="question1[]" type="checkbox" value="None of the above" onclick="SetValues('form1', 'question1[]', false);"> None of the above <br> So again the issue with this code is that since None of the Above is inside the question1 array, it unchecks itself as well. thanks, rg this is my js for all checkbox to be check and uncheck all the item. when i have several item to be checked, it successfully check all with the function. but the problem is when i have only 1 item in the list to be checked. it will not check all or uncheck all when i click the check all function. pls advice. Code: <script language="JavaScript"> <!-- <!-- Begin function CheckAll(chk) { for (i = 0; i < chk.length; i++) chk[i].checked = 1 ; } function UnCheckAll(chk) { for (i = 0; i < chk.length; i++) chk[i].checked = 0 ; } // End --> </script> I have the following page www.crownvalleywinery.com/kiosk/default.html and I would like to add a button or checkbox to check/uncheck all. Note we are already using some javascript for custom checkboxes so it needs to integrate with that. Any help is appreciated. Here is the current javascript...

Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks for your time! from a browser address bar command? say if a page has hundreds of checkboxes, and I needed to check them all, but only 2-3 should be left out, how do i input a browser command line, to check it all, so i will manually uncheck the 2 or 3 thats not needed?
Hello, today I am trying to allow a user to easily uncheck/check all checkboxes in a form by checking or unchecking a checkbox. The checkboxes would be in a form like so: Code: <form action="" method="post"> <input type="checkbox" name="checked[]" value="1"> <input type="checkbox" name="checked[]" value="2"> <input type="checkbox" name="checked[]" value="3"> <input type="checkbox" name="checked[]" value="4"> </form> I use an event handler to call a function: Code: <input type="checkbox" name="checkall" onchange="checkall('checked[]', this.checked)"> And here is the function: Code: function checkall(box_name, current_state) { all = document.getElementsByName(box_name); action = (current_state == "checked") ? "false" : "true"; for (i = 0; i < all.length; i++) { all[i].checked=action; } } The event handler should pass the name of the checkboxes and whether the "check all" checkbox is currently checked or not to the checkall() function. Nothing happens when I check/uncheck the "check all" function. Help? On this webpage http://www.corkdiscos.com/testimonials.html i have a like button. when a user clicks like a comment box appears. when i unlike the button the comment box disappears this is ok but when a user has already liked the facebook page and comes to my webpage the comment box does not show. so im looking for a piece of javascript to check if a user has like the button on my page and if so to show the comment box. please check my source code of the website http://www.corkdiscos.com/testimonials.html to see what i have so far. any help would be greatly appreciated Hi guys. I'm working a bunch of pre existing code on a CMS. Just after a quick fix. Doing a show/hide thing on a particular div somewhere on the page depending if a checkbox is ticked or not. Currently there is 3 checkboxes that are dynamically added through the CMS. Here's simplified version of the form: Code: <form id="simplesearch" name="simplesearch"> <input type="checkbox" onclick='showhidefield(this.value)' name="meta_data_array_search_criteria[custom_profile_type][]" value="5" class="input-checkboxes" /> <input type="checkbox" onclick='showhidefield(this.value)' name="meta_data_array_search_criteria[custom_profile_type][]" value="4" class="input-checkboxes" /> </form> And here's the javascript I was playing with. Code: function showhidefield(id) { if(document.simplesearch.meta_data_array_search_criteria[custom_profile_type][''].checked) { document.getElementById("profile_fields_wrapper_" + id).style.visibility = "visible"; } else { document.getElementById("profile_fields_wrapper_" + id).style.visibility = "hidden"; } } Problem I'm having is how do i do a check to see if those checkboxes are checked in the javascript with those name arrays? How do i separate them? 'm guessing I have to loop through them or something?Hopefully that make senses - it's late here and I'm losing the plot Any pointers would be gratefully welcomed My form generates 1 to n records which contains check boxes. Based on some condition if I click a check box it has to check & disable some other check boxes automatically. I did it. But, at the same time if I un-check I have to un-check all the check boxes which were checked. Please let me know. Thanks a lot.
Hi all. I have the following problem that I require a pointer with. I have a php variable named "$seatid" This could contain 1 or many entries. I have a page full of checkboxes named A1-8, B1-8, C1-8 etc to P1-8 I want a way of greying out the checkboxes on the page that relate to the values that are contained in the php variable. So they cannot be clicked. It would also like to change the colour of the cell that the check box is contained in. It is important that the checkboxes or at least the table that contain the checkboxes remain, as it represents the layout of a theatre. Cheers for your help Good evening all, I have a bit of an issue with checkboxes - basically I need to allow only 1 selection and then have a comments box show when a checkbox is checked. I've gotten the comments box to show when the checkbox is checked but I can't seem to workout how to allow only one. I'd really like the user to be able to change their mind and make a different selection but only have 1 be selected at a time (sort of like radio buttons work). I know it would be much easier and probably better to use radio buttons but that isn't an option with this. (The actual HTML is produced using a style sheet in an application that I am interfacing with so all I can do is use the checkbox.) Here is the code I am using to show or hide the comments box. Code: function HideComments() { var a1 = document.getElementById("crmForm_answer1").checked; var a8 = document.getElementById("crmForm_answer8").checked; var a2 = document.getElementById("crmForm_answer2").checked; var a3 = document.getElementById("crmForm_answer3").checked; var a4 = document.getElementById("crmForm_answer4").checked; var a5 = document.getElementById("crmForm_answer5").checked; var a6 = document.getElementById("crmForm_answer6").checked; var a7 = document.getElementById("crmForm_answer7").checked; var a9 = document.getElementById("crmForm_answer9").checked; var a10 = document.getElementById("crmForm_answer10").checked; if(a1==true) { document.getElementById("crmForm_answer1_value").parentNode.parentNode.style.display = 'block'; } else document.getElementById("crmForm_answer1_value").parentNode.parentNode.style.display = 'none'; if(a8==true) { document.getElementById("crmForm_answer8_value").parentNode.parentNode.style.display = 'block'; } else document.getElementById("crmForm_answer8_value").parentNode.parentNode.style.display = 'none'; if(a2==true) { document.getElementById("crmForm_answer2_value").parentNode.parentNode.style.display = 'block'; } else document.getElementById("crmForm_answer2_value").parentNode.parentNode.style.display = 'none'; if(a3==true) { document.getElementById("crmForm_answer3_value").parentNode.parentNode.style.display = 'block'; } else document.getElementById("crmForm_answer3_value").parentNode.parentNode.style.display = 'none'; if(a4==true) { document.getElementById("crmForm_answer4_value").parentNode.parentNode.style.display = 'block'; } else document.getElementById("crmForm_answer4_value").parentNode.parentNode.style.display = 'none'; if(a5==true) { document.getElementById("crmForm_answer5_value").parentNode.parentNode.style.display = 'block'; } else document.getElementById("crmForm_answer5_value").parentNode.parentNode.style.display = 'none'; if(a6==true) { document.getElementById("crmForm_answer6_value").parentNode.parentNode.style.display = 'block'; } else document.getElementById("crmForm_answer6_value").parentNode.parentNode.style.display = 'none'; if(a7==true) { document.getElementById("crmForm_answer7_value").parentNode.parentNode.style.display = 'block'; } else document.getElementById("crmForm_answer7_value").parentNode.parentNode.style.display = 'none'; if(a9==true) { document.getElementById("crmForm_answer9_value").parentNode.parentNode.style.display = 'block'; } else document.getElementById("crmForm_answer9_value").parentNode.parentNode.style.display = 'none'; if(a10==true) { document.getElementById("crmForm_answer10_value").parentNode.parentNode.style.display = 'block'; } else document.getElementById("crmForm_answer10_value").parentNode.parentNode.style.display = 'none'; } Thanks in Advance Sam have a simple calculator i made with checkboxes and some Js. the problem is that it does not work in FF. any idea how this can work for IE Safari AND FF Code: function getPrice(amount, boxName){ total = eval() ; checked = document.getElementById(boxName).checked if (checked){ total = parseFloat(form1.Total2.value) + parseFloat(amount); }else{ total = parseFloat(form1.Total2.value) - parseFloat(amount); } total.toFixed(2); form1.Total2.value = total document.getElementById("total").innerHTML = "Total $"+total; } All, I have the following code which validates a form has at least one checkbox checked before it submits it. However I want to make sure that there aren't more then 25 checked on the page. How can I do this? Code: function validate(field) { for (var i = 0; i < field.length; i++){ if(field[i].checked){ // if a field is checked form is submitted return true; } } alert("You need to have a check box selected to submit the form!"); return false; // if no fields are checked form not submitted } Thanks in advance! irst post here, i'll try to be simple: I need to create a form where participants of a medical convention register to classes, each class lasts 3 hours, so a person who wants to attend to class starting at 10 am cannot register to 11 am, 12pm and 1pm classes, but he can register to 2pm and so on.
