Question

i have an iphonestyle checkbox button made with a gem (ios-checkboxes) . I want through this button to show only some table rows(the completed/not completed specifications), depending on the button state. If i press it first time, works correct, after that it stops working.

Here is the view code.

= 'Show completed specifications'
= check_box @specifications, :status_set
%br
%table(id = "specifications")
  %thead
    %tr
      %th Title
      %th Added
      %th
  %tbody
    - @specifications.each do |spec|
      - if spec.status
        %tr{class: "completed"} // here i add a class on the COMPLETED specifications
          %th= spec.title
          %th= spec.created_at.strftime("%d-%m-%y %H:%M")
          %th= link_to "View", project_specification_path(params[:project_id], spec.id)
      - else
        %tr{class: "not_completed"} // NOT COMPLETED specifications
          %th= spec.title
          %th= spec.created_at.strftime("%d-%m-%y %H:%M")
          %th= link_to "View", project_specification_path(params[:project_id], spec.id)

the coffeescript code

$('.iPhoneCheckContainer').live "click", -> // the checkbox class
  is_completed = @.checked
  if is_completed
    $('.completed').show()
    $('.not_completed').hide()
  else
    $('.completed').hide()
    $('.not_completed').show()

Answer 1

The problem was with

is_completed = @.checked

Looks like the ios-checkboxes gem doesn t work like a normal checkbox.

I resolve the problem by adding a new class on the button with a function that switches a variable between true/false on any click event. Depending on that variable I displayed the completed/not completed specifications.
