First off, sorry for the vague question, I had no idea how to put this into words. My problem is best illustrated by an example.
I am using a bootstrap dropdown menu with several checkboxes in it. I have used a css trick to change their appearance, using some nice FontAwesome icons. However, when I'm trying to do something with the state of these checkboxes using jQuery, the first check/uncheck seems to work, but any subsequent toggle (check/uncheck) doesn't work...
$('.js-inputhit').click(function() {
if (this === event.target) {
$(this).find(':input').click();
}
});
$('.js-inputhit :input').click(function(e) {
e.stopPropagation();
});
$('.selectchat_all').click(function() {
$('.selectchat_active').attr('checked', false);
$('#chat1, #chat2, #chat3, #chat4').attr('checked', true);
});
$('.selectchat_active').click(function() {
$('.selectchat_all').attr('checked', false);
$('#chat1, #chat2, #chat3, #chat4').attr('checked', false);
});/*Adding custom checkbox icons*/
label {
position: relative;
padding-left: 20px;
cursor: pointer;
}
label:before,
label:after {
font-family: FontAwesome;
font-size: 14px;
/*absolutely positioned*/
position: absolute;
top: 0;
left: 0;
}
label:before {
content: '\f096';
/*unchecked*/
}
label:after {
content: '\f046';
/*checked*/
/*checked icon will be hidden by default by using 0 max-width and overflow hidden*/
max-width: 0;
overflow: hidden;
opacity: 0.5;
/*CSS3 transitions for animated effect*/
transition: all 0.35s;
}
/*hiding the original checkboxes*/
input[type="checkbox"] {
display: none;
}
/*when the user checks the checkbox the checked icon will animate in*/
input[type="checkbox"]:checked + label:after {
max-width: 25px;
/*an arbitratry number more than the icon's width*/
opacity: 1;
/*for fade in effect*/

<label for="all" style="font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0px;">Check all</label>Problem in this example: Clicking "Check all" checks all 4 channels. Clicking "Check none" unchecks all of them. (so far so good). However, after that, the "Check all" no longer works. It doesn't check the 4 channels anymore. "Check none" still unchecks all of them (if you manually check them), but "Check all" no longer works...
Can anyone find my problem :)? Thank you so much for your assistance.
