I was given a requirement for a project where a user was presented with two questions, each with a checkbox related. The two questions were:
1. I have read and understood this document
2. This document does not apply to me
The user is only allowed to select one of these choices. How do I support this requirement using a form with checkboxes and JQuery? The following code meets these requirements, see comments for line by line explanations.
<script src="../SiteAssets/jquery-1.11.3.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="../SiteAssets/jquery.SPServices-2014.02.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function () {
alert('JQUERY LOADED'); //A test to ensure JQuery paths correct. Comment out for prod
$("input[type='checkbox']").click(function() { // detect checkbox check
var checkboxName = ($(this).attr('name')); // get the name of the checkbox that was just clicked
if (checkboxName == 'Checkbox1') { // if the first checkbox is checked
$('input[name=Checkbox2]').attr('checked', false); // uncheck the second one
}
if (checkboxName == 'Checkbox2') { // if the second checkbox is checked
$('input[name=Checkbox1]').attr('checked', false); // uncheck the first one
}
});
});
</script>
<input name="Checkbox1" type="checkbox" />I have read and understood this document.<br/>
<input name="Checkbox2" type="checkbox" />This document does not apply to me.<br/>
