Question

say we have simple asp.net repeater, in a row we have one checkbox, one label (database-id of the record) and not visible (used for postback) and one text (in a tabelcell)

now i want to make it like in windows, if you click on the text, the checkbox should be selected or deselected.

has somebody a link or solution for this, maybe already with jQuery?

Edit: as i said, it is a asp.repeater. and the table is for layout, so using the checkbox.text property is not designable (e.g. line wrap) the ids of the checkbox and text are dynamically added/changed on rendering of the repeater. therefore the label solution does also not really work.

Answer 1

assume that you wont’t need jQuery and the table-construct

<asp:Repeater runat='server'>     <ItemTemplate>         <asp:CheckBox runat='server' Text='your text' />     </ItemTemplate> </asp:Repeater> 

this renders basically the solution provided by Ricardo Vega whatever you get in the property text of the checkbox is clickable, and checks/unchecks the checkbox … therefor you should use <%# Eval(‘…’) %> you can skin (via css) the margin of the label

Edit:

After thinking about this once again, there is another solution:

<asp:Repeater runat='server'>     <HeaderTemplate>         <table>     </HeaderTemplate>     <ItemTemplate>         <tr>             <td><asp:Checkbox runat='server' ID='checkbox' /></td>             <td><asp:Label runat='server' AssociatedControlID='checkbox'>Your text</asp:Label></td>         </tr>     </ItemTemplate>     <FooterTemplate>         </table>     </FooterTemplate> </asp:Repeater> 

Notes: You can use the Text-attribute of the asp:Label-Element either!
