Question

This below is a snippet from the code that I am working on. The short version of this is when a radio button with a label of NO is NOT checked, then the details textbox will show. I simply want to add another condition which allows the box to be shown IF another label is checked.

Example: IF ‘NO’ OR ‘HOW MANY PEOPLE’ are checked, then show the textbox.

I have been trying using the pipes but to no success.

if ($this.siblings('label').text() != 'No') {                            
   if ($this.is(':checked')) {                                 
      $details.show();                              
     $prompt.hide();                           
   }
}

Thanks to anyone in advance, I know this is a simple question Im just a bit stuck!

Answer 1

Use an OR boolean :

if ($this.siblings('label').text() != 'No' || $this.is(':checked'))
      $details.show();                              
      $prompt.hide();
}

In your case, you were doing an AND boolean (which is coded in javascript by &&)
