How to check all checkboxes using jQuery?

Question

I am not expert with jQuery but I have tried to create a little script for my application. I want to check all checkboxes but it isn't working correctly.

First I tried to use attr and after that I tried with prop but I'm doing something wrong.

I tried this first:

$("#checkAll").change(function(){

  if (! $('input:checkbox').is('checked')) {
      $('input:checkbox').attr('checked','checked');
  } else {
      $('input:checkbox').removeAttr('checked');
  }       
});

But this didn't work.

Next: This worked better than above code

$("#checkAll").change(function(){

  if (! $('input:checkbox').is('checked')) {
      $('input:checkbox').prop('checked',true);
  } else {
      $('input:checkbox').prop('checked', false);
  }       
});

Both examples don't work.

Answer 1

You need to use .prop() to set the checked property

$("#checkAll").click(function(){
    $('input:checkbox').not(this).prop('checked', this.checked);
});

Demo: Fiddle

Answer 2

Simply use the checked property of the checkAll and use use prop() instead of attr for checked property

Live Demo

 $('#checkAll').click(function () {    
     $('input:checkbox').prop('checked', this.checked);    
 });

Use prop() instead of attr() for properties like checked

As of jQuery 1.6, the .attr() method returns undefined for attributes that have not been set. To retrieve and change DOM properties such as the checked, selected, or disabled state of form elements, use the .prop() method

You have same id for checkboxes and its should be unique . You better use some class with the dependent checkboxes so that it does not include the checkboxes you do not want. As $('input:checkbox') will select all checkboxes on the page. If your page is extended with new checkboxes then they will also get selected/un-selected. Which might not be the intended behaviour.

Live Demo

$('#checkAll').click(function () {    
    $(':checkbox.checkItem').prop('checked', this.checked);    
});

A complete solution is here.

$(document).ready(function() {
    $("#checkedAll").change(function() {
        if (this.checked) {
            $(".checkSingle").each(function() {
                this.checked=true;
            });
        } else {
            $(".checkSingle").each(function() {
                this.checked=false;
            });
        }
    });

    $(".checkSingle").click(function () {
        if ($(this).is(":checked")) {
            var isAllChecked = 0;

            $(".checkSingle").each(function() {
                if (!this.checked)
                    isAllChecked = 1;
            });

            if (isAllChecked == 0) {
                $("#checkedAll").prop("checked", true);
            }     
        }
        else {
            $("#checkedAll").prop("checked", false);
        }
    });
});

Html should be :

Single check box on checked three checkbox will be select and deselect.

<input type="checkbox" name="checkedAll" id="checkedAll" />

<input type="checkbox" name="checkAll" class="checkSingle" />
<input type="checkbox" name="checkAll" class="checkSingle" />
<input type="checkbox" name="checkAll" class="checkSingle" />

Hope this helps to someone as it did for me.

I think when user select all checkbox manually then checkall should be checked automatically or user unchecked one of them from all selected checkbox then checkall should be unchecked automically. here is my code..

 $('#checkall').change(function () { $('.cb-element').prop('checked',this.checked); }); $('.cb-element').change(function () { if ($('.cb-element:checked').length == $('.cb-element').length){ $('#checkall').prop('checked',true); } else { $('#checkall').prop('checked',false); } });

 <script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.7.2/jquery.min.js"></script> <input type="checkbox" name="all" id="checkall" />Check All</br> <input type="checkbox" class="cb-element" /> Checkbox 1</br> <input type="checkbox" class="cb-element" /> Checkbox 2</br> <input type="checkbox" class="cb-element" /> Checkbox 3

Answer 5

 $(document).ready(function() { $("#parent").click(function() { $(".child").prop("checked", this.checked); }); $('.child').click(function() { if ($('.child:checked').length == $('.child').length) { $('#parent').prop('checked', true); } else { $('#parent').prop('checked', false); } }); });

 <script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.3/jquery.min.js"></script> <p><input type="checkbox" id="parent" /> Check/Uncheck All</p> <ul> <li> <input type="checkbox" class="child" /> Checkbox 1</li> <li> <input type="checkbox" class="child" /> Checkbox 2</li> <li> <input type="checkbox" class="child" /> Checkbox 3</li> </ul>

HTML:

<p><input type="checkbox" id="parent" /> Check/Uncheck All</p>
<ul>
  <li>
    <input type="checkbox" class="child" /> Checkbox 1</li>
  <li>
    <input type="checkbox" class="child" /> Checkbox 2</li>
  <li>
    <input type="checkbox" class="child" /> Checkbox 3</li>
</ul>

jQuery:

$(document).ready(function() {
  $("#parent").click(function() {
    $(".child").prop("checked", this.checked);
  });

  $('.child').click(function() {
    if ($('.child:checked').length == $('.child').length) {
      $('#parent').prop('checked', true);
    } else {
      $('#parent').prop('checked', false);
    }
  });
});

Answer 6

Why don't you try this (in the 2nd line where 'form#' you need to put the proper selector of your html form):

$('.checkAll').click(function(){
    $('form#myForm input:checkbox').each(function(){
        $(this).prop('checked',true);
   })               
});

$('.uncheckAll').click(function(){
    $('form#myForm input:checkbox').each(function(){
        $(this).prop('checked',false);
   })               
});

Your html should be like this:

<form id="myForm">
      <span class="checkAll">checkAll</span>
      <span class="uncheckAll">uncheckAll</span>
      <input type="checkbox" class="checkSingle"></input>
      ....
</form>

I hope that helps.

Answer 7

我知道的最简单的方法：

$('input[type="checkbox"]').prop("checked", true);

Answer 8

$('#checkAll').on('change', function(){
    if($(this).attr('checked')){
        $('input[type=checkbox]').attr('checked',true);
    }
    else{
        $('input[type=checkbox]').removeAttr('checked');
    }
});

Answer 9

One checkbox to rule them all

For people still looking for plugin to control checkboxes through one that's lightweight, has out-of-the-box support for UniformJS and iCheck and gets unchecked when at least one of controlled checkboxes is unchecked (and gets checked when all controlled checkboxes are checked of course) I've created a jQuery checkAll plugin .

Feel free to check the examples on documentation page .

---

For this question example all you need to do is:

$( "#checkAll" ).checkall({
    target: "input:checkbox"
});

Isn't that clear and simple?

Answer 10

    <p id="checkAll">Check All</p>
<hr />
<input type="checkbox" class="checkItem">Item 1
<input type="checkbox" class="checkItem">Item 2
<input type="checkbox" class="checkItem">Item3

And jquery

$(document).on('click','#checkAll',function () {
     $('.checkItem').not(this).prop('checked', this.checked);
 });

Answer 11

You can run .prop() on the results of a jQuery Selector directly even if it returns more than one result. So:

$("input[type='checkbox']").prop('checked', true)

Answer 12

my solution

 $(function() { $(".checkAll").click(function(){ checkwhat = $(this).data("checkwhat"); $('input:checkbox.'+checkwhat).not(this).prop('checked', this.checked); }); });

 <script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.3.1/jquery.min.js"></script> <lablel><input type="checkbox" name="chkSelectAll" class="checkAll" data-checkwhat="chkSelect">check all group 1</lablel> <br> <input class="chkSelect" type="checkbox" name="chkSelect[]" value="1"> value 1.1<br> <input class="chkSelect" type="checkbox" name="chkSelect[]" value="2"> value 1.2<br> <input class="chkSelect" type="checkbox" name="chkSelect[]" value="3"> value 1.2<br> <br> <br> <lablel><input type="checkbox" name="chkSelectAll" class="checkAll" data-checkwhat="chkSelect2">check all group 1</lablel> <br> <input class="chkSelect2" type="checkbox" name="chkSelect[]" value="1"> value 2.1<br> <input class="chkSelect2" type="checkbox" name="chkSelect[]" value="4">value 2.1<br>

Answer 13

Usually you also want the master checkbox to be unchecked if at least 1 slave checkbox is unchecked and to be ckecked if all slave checkboxes are checked:

/**
 * Checks and unchecks checkbox-group with a master checkbox and slave checkboxes
 * @param masterId is the id of master checkbox
 * @param slaveName is the name of slave checkboxes
 */
function checkAll(masterId, slaveName) {
    $master = $('#' + masterId);
    $slave = $('input:checkbox[name=' + slaveName + ']');

    $master.click(function(){
        $slave.prop('checked', $(this).prop('checked'));
        $slave.trigger('change');
    });

    $slave.change(function() {
        if ($master.is(':checked') && $slave.not(':checked').length > 0) {
            $master.prop('checked', false);
        } else if ($master.not(':checked') && $slave.not(':checked').length == 0) {
        $master.prop('checked', 'checked');
    }
    });
}

---

And if you want to enable any control (eg Remove All button or a Add Something button), when at least one checkbox is checked and disable when no checkbox is checked:

/**
 * Checks and unchecks checkbox-group with a master checkbox and slave checkboxes,
 * enables or disables a control when a checkbox is checked
 * @param masterId is the id of master checkbox
 * @param slaveName is the name of slave checkboxes
 */
function checkAllAndSwitchControl(masterId, slaveName, controlId) {
    $master = $('#' + masterId);
    $slave = $('input:checkbox[name=' + slaveName + ']');

    $master.click(function(){
        $slave.prop('checked', $(this).prop('checked'));
        $slave.trigger('change');
    });

    $slave.change(function() {
        switchControl(controlId, $slave.filter(':checked').length > 0);
        if ($master.is(':checked') && $slave.not(':checked').length > 0) {
            $master.prop('checked', false);
        } else if ($master.not(':checked') && $slave.not(':checked').length == 0) {
        $master.prop('checked', 'checked');
    }
    });
}

/**
 * Enables or disables a control
 * @param controlId is the control-id
 * @param enable is true, if control must be enabled, or false if not
 */
function switchControl(controlId, enable) {
    var $control = $('#' + controlId);
    if (enable) {
        $control.removeProp('disabled');
    } else {
        $control.prop('disabled', 'disabled');
    }
}

i know there are lot of answer posted here but i would like to post this for optimization of code and we can use it globally.

i tried my best

/*----------------------------------------
 *  Check and uncheck checkbox which will global

 *  Developer Guidline : For to implement this function Developer need to just add this line inside checkbox {{ class="check_all" dependant-prefix-id="PATTERN_WHATEVER_U_WANT" }}
 ----------------------------------------*/
function checkUncheckAll(chk_all_cls,chiled_patter_key){
    if($("."+chk_all_cls).prop('checked') == true){
        $('input:checkbox[id^="'+chiled_patter_key+'"]').prop('checked', 'checked');
    }else{
        $('input:checkbox[id^="'+chiled_patter_key+'"]').removeProp('checked', 'checked');
    }        
}

if($(".check_all").get(0)){
    var chiled_patter_key = $(".check_all").attr('dependant-prefix-id');

    $(".check_all").on('change',function(){        
        checkUncheckAll('check_all',chiled_patter_key);
    });

    /*------------------------------------------------------
     * this will remain checkbox checked if already checked before ajax call! :)
     ------------------------------------------------------*/

checkall is the id of allcheck box and cb-child is the name of each checkboxes that will be checked and unchecked depend on checkall click event

$("#checkall").click(function () {
                        if(this.checked){
                            $("input[name='cb-child']").each(function (i, el) {
                                el.setAttribute("checked", "checked");
                                el.checked = true;
                                el.parentElement.className = "checked";

                            });
                        }else{

Answer 20

You Can use below Simple Code:

function checkDelBoxes(pForm, boxName, parent)
{
    for (i = 0; i < pForm.elements.length; i++)
        if (pForm.elements[i].name == boxName)
            pForm.elements[i].checked = parent;
}

Example for Using:

<a href="javascript:;" onclick="javascript:checkDelBoxes($(this).closest('form').get(0), 'CheckBox[]', true);return false;"> Select All
</a>
<a href="javascript:;" onclick="javascript:checkDelBoxes($(this).closest('form').get(0), 'CheckBox[]', false);return false;"> Unselect All
</a>
