I have a form and group of checkboxes in it. (These checkboxes are dynamically created but I dont think it is important for this question). The code that generates them look
var selectedIds = [];
function toggle(source) {
checkboxes = document.getElementsByName('ALL');
for ( var i in checkboxes)
checkboxes[i].checked = source.checked;
}
function addSelects() {
var ids = document.getElementsByName('ALL');
for ( var i = 0; i < ids.length; i++) {
if (ids[i].checked == true) {
selectedIds.push(ids[i].value);
}
}
}
In HTML:
Master Check box <input type="checkbox" onClick="toggle(this);">
Other Check boxes <input type="checkbox" name="ALL">
use this i hope to help you i know that this is a late answer but if any one come here again
$("#all").change(function () {
$("input:checkbox").prop('checked', $(this).prop("checked"));
});
You can use the :first selector to find the first input and bind the change event to it. In my example below I use the :checked state of the first input to define the state of it's siblings. I would also suggest to put the code in the JQuery ready event.
$('document').ready(function(){
$('#ScrollCB input:first').bind('change', function() {
var first = $(this);
first.siblings().attr('checked', first.is(':checked'));
});
});
Thanks to @Ashish, I have expanded it slightly to allow the "master" checkbox to be automatically checked or unchecked, if you manually tick all the sub checkboxes.
FIDDLE
HTML
<label><input type="checkbox" name="sample" class="selectall"/>Select all</label>
<div id="checkboxlist">
<label><input type="checkbox" class="justone" name="sample[]"/>checkbox1</label><br/>
<label><input type="checkbox" class="justone" name="sample[]"/>checkbox2</label><br />
<label><input type="checkbox" class="justone" name="sample[]"/>checkbox3</label><br />
<label><input type="checkbox" class="justone" name="sample[]"/>checkbox4</label><br />
</div>
SCRIPT
$('.selectall').click(function() {
if ($(this).is(':checked')) {
$('input:checkbox').prop('checked', true);
} else {
$('input:checkbox').prop('checked', false);
}
});
And now add this to manage the master checkbox as well...
$("input[type='checkbox'].justone").change(function(){
var a = $("input[type='checkbox'].justone");
if(a.length == a.filter(":checked").length){
$('.selectall').prop('checked', true);
}
else {
$('.selectall').prop('checked', false);
}
});
