check/uncheck bootstrap checkboxes with jQuery
I think you are looking for code like:
$(document).ready(function()
{
$("#allstates").on("change", function()
{
var checked = $(this).prop("checked");
$(this).parents(".controls")
.first()
.find("input[type=checkbox]")
.prop("checked", checked);
});
});
JsFiddle Example
When the state of the checkbox with the id allstates
changes, get the checkbox value, find the first parent html element with a class called controls
and then only update all the checkboxes in that element with the value of checked.
Also it is important to add prop to true on selecting checkboxes:
$("#checkAll").click(function(){
var check = $(this).prop('checked');
if(check == true) {
$('.checker').find('span').addClass('checked');
$('.checkbox').prop('checked', true);
} else {
$('.checker').find('span').removeClass('checked');
$('.checkbox').prop('checked', false);
}
});
Since I mentioned that this function checked all the checkboxes I had (even though the ones that were not supposed to be checked), I've been trying to look for the solution:
$('#allstates').click(function() {
$('.checkbox').find('span').addClass('checked');
});
But this is not what I wanted. I mentioned also that I noticed that the code was "different" when inspecting it (in Chrome with F12). So as @thecbuilder said, it changes in order to add style.
I realized that since code is changing... I had to change the class (checkbox) from which I was starting the "span tag" search, so I change class checkbox to id states and this is the result:
$('#allstates').click(function() {
if($(this).attr("checked")){
$('#states').find('span').addClass('checked');
}else{
$('#states').find('span').removeClass('checked');
}
});
Now it finally works.
Simple bootstrap checkbox
<label><input type="checkbox" value="">Option 1</label>
When debug in Chrome dev tool, label look like https://tinker.press/images/bootstrap-checkbox-label-2017-01-17_084755.png
To toogle checkbox state just set true|false
on lable.control.checked
label.control.checked = false; //uncheck
label.control.checked = true; //check
