I am trying to have a section of an html form to show/hide based on a checkbox. This is the essence code I have:
<script src="/js/jquery.js"></script>
<script language="JavaScript">
function toggle(className){
var $input = $(this);
if($(this).prop('checked'))
$(className).show();
else
$(className).hide();
}
</script>
<fieldset><legend>Check Here
<input type="checkbox" onclick="toggle('.myClass')" ></legend>
<span class="myClass">
<p>This is the text.</p>
</span>
</fieldset>
When you click on the checkbox, the span gets hidden and will not come back. I have also used $(this).is(':checked')
. It appears that $(this).prop('checked')
is evaluating to false whether it is checked or not. My best guess is that I am using $(this)
incorrectly. What am I missing here?
