    <p>I have the following code:</p> <pre><code>$("input.edit_user").click(function() { var theCheckboxes = $("input[type='checkbox']"); if (theCheckboxes.filter(":checked").length &gt; 1) $(this).removeAttr("checked"); alert( "Please selected one user at a time for editing." ); }); . . . &lt;tr&gt; &lt;td&gt;&lt;input type="checkbox" name="user_id[]" value="1"&gt;&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td&gt;&lt;input type="checkbox" name="user_id[]" value="2"&gt;&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td&gt;&lt;input type="checkbox" name="user_id[]" value="3"&gt;&lt;/td&gt; &lt;/tr&gt; . . . &lt;input type="submit" name="submit" value="Edit Selected User" class="edit_user"&gt; </code></pre> <p>I'm using checkboxes, because there are other options that allow for more than one item to be selected.</p> <p>However, When a user selects a checkbox for editing, I need to alert them they are only allowed to select one checkbox at a time.</p> <p>I think I have the right idea with my code, but I'm going about it the wrong way, since it's not working and just continues to process the page normally.</p> <p>Suggestions?</p> <hr> <p><strong>UPDATE on selected solution and why</strong></p> <p>For the viable solutions below, once I added:</p> <pre><code>$(document).ready(function() { </code></pre> <p>in my working example, they started working. I selected the answer I did, because after the above line was added, all I needed was the </p> <pre><code>return false; </code></pre> <p>line (and correct brackets on the inner if statement) in order to stop the page from executing what remains.</p> <p>Thank you all for your help solving this!</p>

    1. COSorry, I'm not understanding why you're not using radio buttons instead of checkboxes.

    2. CO@j08691 because if x condition is true, more than one can be checked.

    3. COUse radio input instead. This is what it's designed for. If x condition allows multiple selections, have a column for updating and a column for x condition.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
