In this article I will explain with an example, how to call a function when an HTML CheckBox is checked (selected) or unchecked (unselected) in jQuery.
For illustration purposes, when the CheckBox is clicked based on whether it is checked (selected) or unchecked (unselected), a function will be called within which the HTML DIV with TextBox will be shown or hidden using jQuery.
jQuery: Call function when CheckBox is checked or unchecked
The HTML Markup consists of a CheckBox and an HTML DIV consisting of a TextBox. The CheckBox has been assigned a jQuery OnClick event handler.
When the CheckBox is clicked, based on whether CheckBox is checked (selected) or unchecked (unselected), the HTML DIV with TextBox is shown or hidden.
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.8.3/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(function () {
$("#chkPassport").click(function () {
if ($(this).is(":checked")) {
$("#dvPassport").show();
} else {
$("#dvPassport").hide();
}
});
});
</script>
<label for="chkPassport">
<input type="checkbox" id="chkPassport" />
Do you have Passport?
</label>
<hr />
<div id="dvPassport" style="display: none">
Passport Number:
<input type="text" id="txtPassportNumber" />
</div>
