[javascript] Select All checkboxes using jQuery

I have the following html code:

    <input type="checkbox" id="ckbCheckAll" />
    <p id="checkBoxes">
        <input type="checkbox" class="checkBoxClass" id="Checkbox1" />
        <br />
        <input type="checkbox" class="checkBoxClass" id="Checkbox2" />
        <br />
        <input type="checkbox" class="checkBoxClass" id="Checkbox3" />
        <br />
        <input type="checkbox" class="checkBoxClass" id="Checkbox4" />
        <br />
        <input type="checkbox" class="checkBoxClass" id="Checkbox5" />
        <br />
    </p>

When user checks ckbCheckAll all checkboxes must be checked. Also I have following jquery code:

    $(document).ready(function () {
        $("#ckbCheckAll").click(function () {
            $(".checkBoxClass").attr('checked', this.checked);
        });
    });

When I see my page in the browser I get the following result: In the first click on ckbCheckAll all checkboxes were checked (which is correct). In the second click on ckbCheckAll all checkboxes were unchecked (which is correct). But in 3rd attempt nothing happened! also in 4th attempt nothing happened and so on.

Where is the problem?

This question is related to javascript jquery

The answer is


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{
                            $("input[name='cb-child']").each(function (i, el) {
                                el.removeAttribute("checked");
                                el.parentElement.className = "";
                            });
                        }
                    });

Use below code..

        $('#globalCheckbox').click(function(){
            if($(this).prop("checked")) {
                $(".checkBox").prop("checked", true);
            } else {
                $(".checkBox").prop("checked", false);
            }                
        });


        $('.checkBox').click(function(){
            if($(".checkBox").length == $(".checkBox:checked").length) { 
                 //if the length is same then untick 
                $("#globalCheckbox").prop("checked", false);
            }else {
                //vise versa
                $("#globalCheckbox").prop("checked", true);            
            }
        });

Here is a simple way to do this :

Html :

<input type="checkbox" id="selectall" class="css-checkbox " name="selectall"/>Selectall<br>
<input type="checkbox" class="checkboxall" value="checkbox1"/>checkbox1<br>
<input type="checkbox" class="checkboxall" value="checkbox2"/>checkbox2<br>
<input type="checkbox" class="checkboxall" value="checkbox3"/>checkbox3<br>

jquery :

$(document).ready(function(){
$("#selectall").click(function(){
        if(this.checked){
            $('.checkboxall').each(function(){
                $(".checkboxall").prop('checked', true);
            })
        }else{
            $('.checkboxall').each(function(){
                $(".checkboxall").prop('checked', false);
            })
        }
    });
});

use this

if (this.checked)
   $(".checkBoxClass").attr('checked', "checked");
else
   $(".checkBoxClass").removeAttr('checked');

also you can use prop please check http://api.jquery.com/prop/


Add jquery-2.1.0.min.js file

<script src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery-2.1.0.min.js"></script>

Write the codes given below:

<script>
$(document).ready(function () {   
    $("#checkAll").change(function() {
        var checked = $(this).is(':checked'); // Get Checkbox state
        if (this.checked) //If true then checked all checkboxes
           $(".classofyourallcheckbox").prop('checked', true);
        else
           $(".classofyourallcheckbox").prop('checked', false); //or uncheck all textboxes 
    }); 
});
</script>

$(document).ready(function() {
    $('#ckbCheckAll').click(function() {
        $('.checkBoxClass').each(function() {
            $(this).attr('checked',!$(this).attr('checked'));
        });
    });
});

OR

$(function () {
    $('#ckbCheckAll').toggle(
        function() {
            $('.checkBoxClass').prop('checked', true);
        },
        function() {
            $('.checkBoxClass').prop('checked', false);
        }
    );
});

I have seen many answers to this question and found some answer is lengthy and some answer is a little bit wrong. I have created my own code by using the above IDs and class.

$('#ckbCheckAll').click(function(){
        if($(this).prop("checked")) {
            $(".checkBoxClass").prop("checked", true);
        } else {
            $(".checkBoxClass").prop("checked", false);
        }                
    });


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

In the above code, where user clicks on select all checkbox and all checkbox will be selected and vice versa and second code will work when the user selects checkbox one by one then select all checkbox will be checked or unchecked according to a number of checkboxes checked.


Use prop() instead -

$(document).ready(function () {
        $("#ckbCheckAll").click(function () {
            $(".checkBoxClass").each(function(){
                if($(this).prop("checked", true)) {
                    $(this).prop("checked", false);
                } else {
                    $(this).prop("checked", true);
                }                
            });
        });
    });

BUT I like @dmk's much more compact answer and +1'd it


$(document).ready(function () {
    $(".class").on('click', function () {
        $(".checkbox).prop('checked', true);
    });
});

I know its too late, but I'm posting this for the upcoming developers.

For select all checkbox we need to check three conditions, 1. on click select all checkbox every checkbox should get selected 2. if all selected then on click select all checkbox, every checkbox should get deselected 3. if we deselect or select any of the checkbox the select all checkbox also should change.

with these three things we'll get a good result.for this you can approach this link https://qawall.in/2020/05/30/select-all-or-deselect-all-checkbox-using-jquery/ I got my solution from here, they have provided solution with examples.

<table>
<tr>
    <th><input type="checkbox" id="select_all"/> Select all</th>
</tr>
<tr>
    <td><input type="checkbox" class="check" value="1"/> Check 1</td>
    <td><input type="checkbox" class="check" value="2"/> Check 2</td>
    <td><input type="checkbox" class="check" value="3"/> Check 3</td>
    <td><input type="checkbox" class="check" value="4"/> Check 4</td>
    <td><input type="checkbox" class="check" value="5"/> Check 5</td>
</tr>

<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function(){
$('#select_all').on('click',function(){
    if(this.checked){
        $('.check').each(function(){
            this.checked = true;
        });
    }else{
         $('.check').each(function(){
            this.checked = false;
        });
    }
});

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

});

hope this will help anyone ...:)


Try the following simple code:

$('input[type=checkbox]').each(function() { this.checked = true; }); 

Source: How to reset all checkboxes using jQuery or pure JS?


Let i have the following checkboxes

 <input type="checkbox" name="vehicle" value="select All" id="chk_selall">Select ALL<br>
        <input type="checkbox" name="vehicle" value="Bike" id="chk_byk">bike<br>
        <input type="checkbox" name="vehicle" value="Car" id="chk_car">car 
        <input type="checkbox" name="vehicle" value="Bike" id="chk_bus">Bus<br>
        <input type="checkbox" name="vehicle" value="scooty" id="chk_scooty">scooty 

Here is the simple code to select all and diselect all when the selectall check box will click

<script type="text/javascript">
        $(document).ready(function () {
            $("#chk_selall").on("click", function () {

                $("#chk_byk").prop("checked", true); 
                $("#chk_car").prop("checked", true); 
                $("#chk_bus").prop("checked", true); 
                $("#chk_scooty").prop("checked", true); 


            })

            $("#chk_selall").on("click", function () {

                if (!$(this).prop("checked"))
                {
                    $("#chk_byk").prop("checked", false);
                    $("#chk_car").prop("checked", false);
                    $("#chk_bus").prop("checked", false);
                    $("#chk_scooty").prop("checked", false);             

                }
            });


        });
    </script>

Try this

$(document).ready(function () {
    $("#ckbCheckAll").click(function () {
        $("#checkBoxes input").prop('checked', $(this).prop('checked'));
    });
});

That should do it :)


 jQuery( function($){
    // add multiple select / deselect functionality
    $("#contact_select_all").click(function () {

        if($("#contact_select_all").is(":checked")){
            $('.noborder').prop('checked',true);
        }else
            $('.noborder').prop('checked',false);
    });

    // if all checkbox are selected, check the selectall checkbox
    $(".noborder").click(function(){

    if($(".noborder").length == $(".noborder:checked").length) {
        $("#contact_select_all").attr("checked", "checked");
    } else {
        $("#contact_select_all").removeAttr("checked");
    }

    });

});

$(document).ready(function(){
$('#ckbCheckAll').click(function(event) { 
            if($(this).is(":checked")) {
                $('.checkBoxClass').each(function(){
                    $(this).prop("checked",true);
                });
            }
            else{
                $('.checkBoxClass').each(function(){
                    $(this).prop("checked",false);
                });
            }   
    }); 
    });
