in my mvc application i have a checkbox. but dont know why its value is always true. pls help
my view page
<div id="maindiv"> <%: Html.CheckBoxFor(m => m.status)%> <%: Html.LabelFor(m => m.status)%> </div> and the script is here how i am getting the value TRUE always
<script type="text/javascript"> $('#status').change(function () { alert(" active " + $('#status').val()); }); </script> use instead:
var status = ( $("#status").attr("checked") ? 'checked' : 'unchecked' ); alert(" active " + status); Explanation:
you were reading the value of the checkbox which is always true, you need to check whether its checked attribute is checked or unchecked. I used the ternary operator to check check whether it's checked or not You could have also used $("#status").is(":checked") but it is slower.
$('#status').change(function () { alert(" active " + this.checked); }); I recommend this answer by Jab because it works.
var myValue = $("#status").is(":checked"); If checked, myValue = true, else myValue = false.
