They will also learn how to check whether a checkbox is checked or not with jQuery.<\/p>\n<h2>1. Introduction<\/h2>\n<p><strong>jQuery<\/strong> is nothing but a JavaScript library that comes with rich functionalities. It&#8217;s smaller and faster than many JavaScript code written by an average web developer. By using jQuery developers can write less code and do more things, doing web developer&#8217;s tasks very easy. In simple word, jQuery is a collection of several useful methods, which can be used to carry out many common tasks in JavaScript. Couple lines of jQuery code can do things which need too many JavaScript lines to do. The true power of jQuery comes from its CSS-like selector, which allows it to select any element from DOM and change, update or manipulate it. Developers can use jQuery to do cool animations like fade in or fade out. They can also change the CSS class of a component dynamically e.g. making a component active or inactive. I have used this technique to make a <em>tabbed UI<\/em> in <code>HTML<\/code>. I can vouch for jQuery that once developers start using it, they will never go back to plain old JavaScript as <em>jQuery<\/em> is <em>clear<\/em>, <em>concise<\/em>, and <em>powerful<\/em>.<br \/>\n[ulp id=&#8217;qGGDqWnle19VavkM&#8217;]<\/p>\n<h3>1.1 How to use jQuery Library?<\/h3>\n<p><em>jQuery<\/em> is just a small <em>20+ kb<\/em> JavaScript file. If developers want to use jQuery, they just need to download the latest jQuery file from the official <a href=\"https:\/\/jquery.com\/download\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">website<\/a> or any of the CDN (i.e. Content Delivery Network) URL which provides the jQuery download ability.<\/p>\n<h3>1.2 How to track a checkbox status using jQuery?<\/h3>\n<p>jQuery\u2019s <code>prop()<\/code> method and <code>:checked<\/code> selector are the two ways to track whether a checkbox is checked or not.<\/p>\n<h4>1.2.1 jQuery prop() Method<\/h4>\n<p>The jQuery\u2019s <code>prop()<\/code> method is used to retrieve the values of the DOM properties (such as defaultChecked, nodeName, tagName etc.) or the custom-made properties. This method provides an authentic process to check the &#8216;<span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">checkboxes<\/span>&#8216; status. Do not misinterpret this with the <code>checked<\/code> attribute. The <code>checked<\/code> attribute <em>only<\/em> describes the <em>initial<\/em> state and not the <em>current<\/em> state of a checkbox.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><em>Snippet<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<pre class=\"brush:js; wrap-lines:false;\">$(document).ready(function() {\r\n\t$('input[type=\"checkbox\"]').click(function() {\r\n\t\tif($(this).prop(\"checked\") == true) {\r\n\t\t\tconsole.log(\"Checkbox is checked.\");\r\n\t\t}\r\n\t\telse if($(this).prop(\"checked\") == false) {\r\n\t\t\tconsole.log(\"Checkbox is unchecked.\");\r\n\t\t}\r\n\t});\r\n});\r\n<\/pre>\n<h4>1.2.2 jQuery Checked Selector<\/h4>\n<p>To track the status of a checkbox, developers can use the jQuery\u2019s <code>:checked<\/code> selector. This selector is specifically outlined for the radio-buttons and the checkboxes.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><em>Snippet<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<pre class=\"brush:js; wrap-lines:false;\">$(document).ready(function() {\r\n\t$('input[type=\"checkbox\"]').click(function() {\r\n\t\tif($(this).is(\":checked\")) {\r\n\t\t\tconsole.log(\"Checkbox is checked.\");\r\n\t\t}\r\n\t\telse if($(this).is(\":not(:checked)\")){\r\n\t\t\tconsole.log(\"Checkbox is unchecked.\");\r\n\t\t}\r\n\t});\r\n});\r\n<\/pre>\n<p>These new APIs make developer&#8217;s life easier, really! But it would be difficult for a beginner to understand this without an example. This tutorial is outlined to track the status of a checkbox by using the jQuery <code>:checked<\/code> selector.<\/p>\n<h2>2. jQuery Checkbox Example<\/h2>\n<p>Here is a step-by-step guide for implementing the jQuery checkbox example.<\/p>\n<h3>2.1 Tools Used<\/h3>\n<p>We are using Eclipse Kepler SR2, JDK 8 and Maven.
