Question

I have created a Check box JQuery Plugin, but when i want to get the value of the check box when selected the check box value always returns false. I have taken out the plugin and used the check box in a raw state but still returns false when check box is selected.

})(jQuery);

Answer 1

I split the code up from the button click event and then i could retrieve the value from the check box. Weird i still don’t understand why it shouldn’t work first time.

function DialogWindowDragMediaItems(userPageType, imageParams, idParams) {


idParams = idParams.replace(/~/g, "|")

var divBGContainer = $("<div/>");
var lengthVideos = imageParams.split("~").length - 1;


var divInfoText1 = $("<div/>"); ;
$(divBGContainer).append(divInfoText1);
$(divInfoText1).text("What would you like to do with the videos selected?");
$(divInfoText1).attr("class", "videosselecteddraginfo");


var checkBox1 = $("<input type='checkbox'/>");
$(divBGContainer).append(checkBox1);
$(checkBox1).genCheckBox({ name: 'copymedia', text: 'Move and Copy', checked: true, id: 'copymediamoveandcopy' });

var checkBox2 = $("<input type='checkbox'/>");
$(divBGContainer).append(checkBox2);
$(checkBox2).genCheckBox({ name: 'copymedia', text: 'Move and Delete' });




var buttonMove = GetDialogWindowButton("Move Items", "");

CreateGenericWindowDialog($(divBGContainer), "DialogWindowDragMediaItemsAddID", 500, "images/mainpage/dialogwindow/titleimageaddmedia.png", "Move Items", "Cancel", $(buttonMove), true);


//$(buttonMove).attr("href", "javascript:DestroyDialogWindowHideTransparent('DialogWindowDragMediaItemsAddID'); WebForm_DoCallback('MainPageControl1','dragmediatomedia~" + userPageType + "~" + idParams + "~' + $('#copymediamoveandcopy').is('checked'),null,null,null,true)");

$(buttonMove).attr("href", "javascript:MoveItemsClick('" + userPageType + "','" + idParams + "')");
}

function MoveItemsClick(userPageType, idParams) {

var booleanValue = $('#copymediamoveandcopy')[0].checked;
DestroyDialogWindowHideTransparent('DialogWindowDragMediaItemsAddID');
WebForm_DoCallback('MainPageControl1', 'dragmediatomedia~' + userPageType + '~' + idParams + '~' + booleanValue, null, null, null, true);
}
