On my site, I've been tweaking the remember me checkbox so that it looks like a button, whilst still being a checkbox, my html is:
<span class="button-checkbox"><button type="button" class="btn" data-color="info">Remember Me</button><input type="checkbox" name="remember_me" id="remember_me" checked="checked" class="hidden"></span>
A fontawesome icon is dynamically changed and the status of the checkbox is modified using this javascript:
$(function () {
$('.button-checkbox').each(function () {
// Settings
var $widget = $(this),
$button = $widget.find('button'),
$checkbox = $widget.find('input:checkbox'),
color = $button.data('color'),
settings = {
on: {
icon: 'fa fa-check-square-o'
},
off: {
icon: 'fa fa-check-square-o'
}
};
// Event Handlers
$button.on('click', function () {
$checkbox.prop('checked', !$checkbox.is(':checked'));
$checkbox.triggerHandler('change');
updateDisplay();
});
$checkbox.on('change', function () {
updateDisplay();
});
// Actions
function updateDisplay() {
var isChecked = $checkbox.is(':checked');
// Set the button's state
$button.data('state', (isChecked) ? "on" : "off");
// Set the button's icon
$button.find('.state-icon')
.removeClass()
.addClass('state-icon ' + settings[$button.data('state')].icon);
// Update the button's color
if (isChecked) {
$button
.removeClass('btn-default')
.addClass('btn-' + color + ' active');
}
else {
$button
.removeClass('btn-' + color + ' active')
.addClass('btn-default');
}
}
// Initialization
function init() {
updateDisplay();
// Inject the icon if applicable
if ($button.find('.state-icon').length == 0) {
$button.prepend('<i class="state-icon ' + settings[$button.data('state')].icon + '"></i> ');
}
}
init();
});
});
However, when I view this in the web browser it looks like this:
Any ideas? Thanks!
