Jquery CheckBox Selection/Deselection optimally given X checkboxes
- by Amitd
Hi guys,
I have suppose say 'X' check-boxes(any input elements) in a Form and "M" option selection indexes ("M" less than equal to "X"). then how do i select the "M" option indexes/values and deselect the rest of check-boxes optimally?
i.e.Suppose I have 10 Checkboxes and 5 Option Indices(eg: 1,2,4,5,8) then i have to select
checkboxes with given index .
I could come up with the following code:
HTML:
<div id="Options">
<input id="choice_1" type="checkbox" name="choice_1" value="Option1"><label for="choice_1">Option1</label>
<input id="choice_2" type="checkbox" name="choice_2" value="Option2"><label for="choice_2">Option2</label>
<input id="choice_3" type="checkbox" name="choice_3" value="Option3"><label for="choice_3">Option3</label>
..
..till choice_10
</div>
IN JS:
//Have to select checkboxes with "Value" in choicesToSelect and give a selection
//effect to its label
var choicesToSelect={"Option1","Option9","Option3","Option4","Option2"};
selectHighlightCheckBoxes(choicesToSelect);
function selectHighlightCheckBoxes(choices){
$.each(
choices, function(intIndex, objValue) {
//select based on id or value or some criteria
var option = $("#Options :input[value=" + objValue + "]") ;
if ($(option).is("input[type='radio']") || $(option).is("input[type='checkbox']")) {
$(option).attr('checked', true);
$(option).next('label:first').css({ 'border': '1px solid #FF0000', 'background-color': '#BEF781', 'font-weight': 'bolder' });
} else if ($(option).is("input[type='text']")) {
$(option).css({ 'border': '1px solid #FF0000', 'background-color': '#BEF781', 'font-weight': 'bolder' });
} else {
}
}
);
}
But i want to also add effect to the rest (not in choicesToSelect array) also.
(may be red color to those not in choiceToSelect)
Can this be done in the one traversal/loop?
Optimally? or Better way?
