jQuery checkbox goodness
I was working on a select all feature today and just wanted to share this with the world. (a.k.a. keep it for later)
$(document).ready( function() {
$('a#select_all').click( function() {
$('input:checkbox').each( function() {
this.checked = !this.checked;
});
return false;
});
});
The first item to note is that jQuery created pseudo classes for input.
$('input:checkbox');
...
$('input:textbox');
... etc.
The second item to note, which I thought was ingenious, was setting the value of the checkbox to the inverse of it’s current value.
this.checked = !this.checked;
Works great and it’s short and sweet. Who loves jQuery?
