    <p>I am trying to attach an event listener to a checkbox only if it is <strong>not checked</strong>. But the event (firing an overlay) happens even if I try to check it. </p> <ol> <li><p>Go to this page: <a href="http://eetest.netmagicsolutions.com/leadform/" rel="nofollow">http://eetest.netmagicsolutions.com/leadform/</a></p></li> <li><p>Select Hosting option from the dropdown</p></li> <li><p>Try clicking on the Dedicated Hosting Checkbox</p></li> </ol> <p>You will see that the overlay fires even if I uncheck the checkbox.</p> <p>Here is my code:</p> <pre><code>$grpBoxes.fireReveal = function($input) { //fire overlay only if input is not checked $input.on('change.overlay', function(e) { console.log($input.attr('checked')); if($input.is(':checked')) { $input.overlay({ onBeforeLoad: function(){ console.log('ready to fire'); $input.addClass('fired'); }, // load it immediately after the construction load:true, // disable this for modal dialog-type of overlays closeOnClick: false }); } else { $input.removeClass('fired'); $input.off('change.overlay'); console.log($input.attr('checked')); return false; } }); // end callback }; // end fireReveal </code></pre> <p>Here is my live code: <a href="http://eetest.netmagicsolutions.com/leadform/" rel="nofollow">http://eetest.netmagicsolutions.com/leadform/</a> Here is my full script: <a href="http://eetest.netmagicsolutions.com/leadform/js/jquery.leadform.js" rel="nofollow">http://eetest.netmagicsolutions.com/leadform/js/jquery.leadform.js</a></p> <p>What am I doing wrong?</p>

    1. COwhy not bind the function on the event, then test within the function whether the checkbox is checked? That logic seems simpler than selectively binding.

    2. CO@Mathletics I tried doing that. It doesn't work either. So I thought maybe I should bind the click event only if the checkbox is unchecked.

    3. COwell the click event occurs before the state changes, so after binding the function, it will fire the overlay and then change state. That's why you want to bind the function once, check the state, and fire the overlay based on state.

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.
