Question

I have two checkbox lists, i want to get the count of checked elements of these. below is my code:

<div id="divAreaListingByLocation">
  <asp:CheckBoxList ID="chklstArea" CssClass="chkarea" RepeatColumns="6" RepeatDirection="Vertical"
        runat="server" OnSelectedIndexChanged="chklstArea_SelectedIndexChanged" AutoPostBack="true">
  </asp:CheckBoxList>
</div>
<asp:Repeater ID="repRooms" runat="server" OnItemDataBound="repRooms_ItemDataBound">
    <ItemTemplate>
        <div style="height: 100%; float: none;">
            <asp:Panel ID="pnlRoomheader" runat="server" Style="width: 98%; background-color: #86ADD6;
                color: #4A4A4A; height: 20px; margin-top: 10px; text-align: left; padding: 5px;
                font-size: 15px; font-weight: bold;">
                <asp:Label ID="lblAreaName" runat="server"></asp:Label>
                <asp:Label ID="lblAreaId" Style="display: none;" runat="server"></asp:Label>
            </asp:Panel>
            <div id="divRoomListingByLocation" style="padding-bottom: 10px; padding-top: 10px;">
                <asp:CheckBoxList ID="chkRoomList" CssClass="chkRooms" RepeatColumns="6" RepeatDirection="Vertical"
                    runat="server">
                </asp:CheckBoxList>
                <asp:Label ID="lblRoomMessage" Text="This Area does not have any room." ForeColor="Red"
                    runat="server"></asp:Label>
            </div>
        </div>
    </ItemTemplate>
</asp:Repeater>

What i want to do is: if user not checked any of the check box from these two then it will prompt a alert to say check one of the checkbox from both lists on the click of a button.

I have tried to it with class but the class is append to the table render in html of checkboxlist.

Answer 1

Since you are using checkbox list it will apply the specified class to the Table not the checkbox. There you will have to use

$(".chkarea").find("input:checked").length;

This will return the count of all the checkboxes that are checked for a checkboxlist with class “chkarea”
