    <p>I am writing some javascript (jQuery) that enables a div wrapped around a checkbox, when clicked, will toggle the checkbox element. However, the problem I'm running into is that when you click on the checkbox, it doesn't work because it's being toggled twice (at least I think that's what's happening). </p> <p><a href="http://jsfiddle.net/misbehavens/WV7sp/" rel="noreferrer">Here's a demo.</a></p> <p>Here's the code:</p> <pre><code>$('.checkbox-wrapper').click(function(){ var $checkbox = $(this).find('input[type="checkbox"]'); if ($checkbox.is(':checked')) { $checkbox.attr('checked', false); } else { $checkbox.attr('checked', true); } }); </code></pre> <p>How can I make it so that clicking the checkbox works as normal, but if you click in the surrounding area, it toggles the checkbox?</p> <h2>Solution:</h2> <p>Thanks to jAndy's comment for showing how this can be done by checking the event.target property:</p> <pre><code>$('.checkbox-wrapper').click(function(e){ if( e.target.nodeName === 'INPUT' ) { e.stopPropagation(); return; } var $checkbox = $(this).find('input[type="checkbox"]'); if ($checkbox.is(':checked')) { $checkbox.attr('checked', false); } else { $checkbox.attr('checked', true); } }); </code></pre> <p>And as others have pointed out, this may not be the best example since you get the same functionality (without needing javascript) by wrapping the checkbox with a label tag instead of a div tag. <a href="http://jsfiddle.net/misbehavens/cuhwE/" rel="noreferrer">Demo</a></p>

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.
