取消选中一个复选框，另一个复选框将取消选中

Question

I have two checkboxes in a form. onclick if a checkbox called email is unchecked how can I get the other checkbox to also uncheck (if it is checked) ?

document.getElementById('email').onclick = function() {
     if (!this.checked) {
        !document.getElementById("other").checked;
    } else {
        // if not checked ...
    }
};

Am I completey barking up the wrong tree? Any help appriciated

Answer 1

To synchronize the checking of the both at the same time you need just to use this.checked of the first clicked one on the checked attribute of the second one like :

document.getElementById("other").checked = this.checked;

NOTE : That will work on one way, what means the check will be synchronized just when you click on the first checkbox that you've attached the click event to.

 document.getElementById('email').onclick = function() { document.getElementById("other").checked = this.checked; }; 

 <input id="email" type="checkbox" /> CHECKBOX 1 <br> <input id="other" type="checkbox" /> CHECKBOX 2 

Answer 2

In your test code you are not setting the checked property of "other" to any value. You are just reading its value, then inverting it (with !).

You could try:

document.getElementById("other").checked = false;

Answer 3

You can make it like :

<form id="test" action="#" method="post">
    <div>
        <input type="checkbox" name="check" id="check"/>
    </div>

        <div>
        <input type="checkbox" name="check2" id="check2"/>
    </div>
</form>

document.getElementById('check').onclick = function() {

 if (!this.checked) {
    document.getElementById("check2").checked = false;
} else {

    // other logic ...
}};

Answer 4

You can add event listener to email checkbox (which is a good practice) and then check if it is check or not and deal with the other checkbox according to that

For example

 var ckb = document.getElementById('email') ckb.addEventListener("click", function(e){ if(!e.target.checked) document.getElementById('ot').checked = false; }) 

 <input type="checkbox" name="na" value="email" id="email">Email<br> <input type="checkbox" name="na" value="other" id="ot">Other 

Answer 5

This should help

function check() {
if(document.getElementById("email").checked){ 
    document.getElementById("other").checked = true;
}else{
    document.getElementById("other").checked = false;
}

}

HTML

<input type='checkbox' id='email' name='checkbox' onclick="check()" >email
<input type='checkbox' id='other' name='checkbox'>other
