Question

I have a checkbox for creating a user

<input type="checkbox" id="chkCreateNewUser" name="chkCreateNewUser"/><label for="chkCreateNewUser">Create New User</label>

then i have this jquery

$("Input").click(function(){
    if($('#chkCreateNewUser').attr('checked')){
  $('#Firstname').val("");
}

when i type in the textbox and click the next textbox, the value i typed disappears. how do i make it when if the value of the textbox is not empty, the value typed stays?

I tried assigning it to avariable and displaying that variable but it just shows “[Object, Object]”. I know theres a simple solution thanks

Answer 1

why not disable the form when the element is unchecked. Just a suggestion.

$('#chkCreateNewUser').change(function(){
if($(this).attr('checked'))
  $('form#formId').find(':input').attr('disabled',true);
else
 $('form#formId').find(':input').removeAttr('disabled');
}

Alsom, make sure your checkbox is not inside that form, otherwise it will get disabled too
