How can I check if a checkbox is checked?

Question

I am building a mobile web app with jQuery Mobile and I want to check if a checkbox is checked. Here is my code.

Answer 1

Use this below simple code: https://jsfiddle.net/Divyesh_Patel/v7a4h3kr/7/

<input type="checkbox" id="check">
<a href="#" onclick="check()">click</a>
<button onclick="check()">
button
</button>
<script>
 function check() {
    		if (document.getElementById('check').checked) {
            alert("checked");
        } else {
            alert("You didn't check it! Let me check it for you.");
        }
       
    }

</script>

Answer 2

If you are using this form for mobile app then you may use the required attribute html5. you dont want to use any java script validation for this. It should work

<input id="remember" name="remember" type="checkbox" required="required" />

Answer 3

Try this:

function validate() {
  var remember = document.getElementById("remember");
  if (remember.checked) {
    alert("checked");
  } else {
    alert("You didn't check it! Let me check it for you.");
  }
}

Your script doesn't know what the variable remember is. You need to get the element first using getElementById().

Answer 4

You can try this:

if ($(#remember).is(':checked')){
   alert('checked');
}else{
   alert('not checked')
}

Answer 5

This should allow you to check if element with id='remember' is 'checked'

if (document.getElementById('remember').is(':checked')

Answer 6

remember is undefined … and the checked property is a boolean not a number.

function validate(){
    var remember = document.getElementById('remember');
    if (remember.checked){
        alert("checked") ;
    }else{
        alert("You didn't check it! Let me check it for you.")
    }
}
