jQuery: make checkboxes act like radio buttons?

Question

Is there a way to make checkboxes act like radio buttons? I assume this could be done with jQuery?

Answer 1

Use change event of checkbox and assign checked value for current selected checkbox:

	$("input[type=checkbox]").change(function()
	{
		$("input[type=checkbox]").prop('checked',false);
		$(this).prop('checked',true);
	});

.checkBoxb{
  float:left;
  clear:both;
  }

 CheckBox1
 CheckBox2
 CheckBox3
 CheckBox4
