I'm trying to customize a bootstrap dropdown with checkboxes and if I select a checkbox from dropdown the label name I want to be written on input dropdown delimited with ';' like in uploaded picture when dropdown is closed.
Here is a fiddle example.
Not the most elegant solution - you will probably want to refine this somewhat, but this might get you started:
$(document).ready(function() {
$("ul.dropdown-menu input[type=checkbox]").each(function() {
$(this).change(function() {
var line = "";
$("ul.dropdown-menu input[type=checkbox]").each(function() {
if($(this).is(":checked")) {
line += $("+ span", this).text() + ";";
}
});
$("input.form-control").val(line);
});
});
});
I know it's a old question but still, you can use this library to do almost (except the exact design you asked) what you want http://davidstutz.github.io/bootstrap-multiselect/#getting-started
The following code works in Bootstrap 4.1 if you add a function to show the menu on hover, but when you click the < li > then your checkboxes becomes unclickable. Anybody having a better solution please provide.
<ul class="dropdown-menu dropdown-menu-form">
<li><label class="checkbox"><input type="checkbox">One</label></li>
<li><label class="checkbox"><input type="checkbox">Two</label></li>
</ul>
And add these JS codes:
// Allow Bootstrap dropdown menus to have forms/checkboxes inside,
// and when clicking on a dropdown item, the menu doesn't disappear.
$(document).on('click', '.dropdown-menu.dropdown-menu-form', function(e) {
e.stopPropagation();
});
UPDATE
The below code is working good but checkboxes events are fired twice so had to choose the onchange event instead of onclick
<ul class="dropdown-menu dropdown-menu-form">
<li><label class="checkbox"><input type="checkbox" onchange="some()">One</label></li>
<li><label class="checkbox"><input type="checkbox" onchange="some()">Two</label></li>
</ul>
and the jquery code as follows:
$(document).on('click', '.dropdown-menu', function (e) {
e.stopPropagation();
});
