The change event is sent to an element when its value changes. This event is limited to <input> elements, <textarea> boxes and <select> elements. For select boxes, checkboxes, and radio buttons, the event is fired immediately when the user makes a selection with the mouse.Hope this is what u meant mate
HTML
<input type="checkbox" name="vehicle" value="Bike">I have a bike<br>
<input type="checkbox" name="vehicle" value="Car">I have a car
<div id="divToBeRefreshed">
</div>
JS
$("input[name=vehicle]").on('change',function(){
$("#divToBeRefreshed").html($(this).val());
});
if you want to fire an event when a checkbox is checked / unchecked: use the below code too.
if( $(this).is(':checked') )
