[jQuery] Re: Selecting a checkbox by clicking anywhere on a row

[Karl Swedberg]

Hi Michael,

You could do it a little differently. This should work:
$('.myrow').click(function(event) {
  if (event.target.type != 'checkbox') {
    $('input:checkbox', this).trigger('click');
  }
});

so, when the user clicks somewhere in the row, if the click isn't  
directly on a checkbox, it triggers a click for that row's checkbox.

Thanks for the reply.

I added a return false;

But it doesn't seem to make any difference.

Am I missing something?

Thanks again

Michael

add " return false; " to your click handler to keep the click from
getting to the checkbox itself.

Hi there,

I'm trying to make a page which automatically toggles a checkbox  
when
you click anywhere on the row.

Here's a version I've cut down to the bare bones to illustrate

http://dev.savingforchildren.co.uk/mjs/row_select.epl

It seems to work fine unless the user actually clicks on the  
checkbox
itself.  In this case it seems that it actually gets toggled twice  
and
so reverts to its original state.

Any suggestions on the cleanest / simples way to avoid this? (I can
think of a few messy ways)

Thanks

Michael
