So I recently put some code in after fields on this form to prevent more than 1 check box from being selected.  It was working great, and I have changed nothing but the code doesn’t seem to work now… Any thoughts? <script>

jQuery(document).ready(function($){
var limit = 1;// Change 3 to your limit
$('input[name="item_meta[322][]"]').change(function(){
var checkbox_num = $("input[name='item_meta[322][]']:checked").length;
if ( checkbox_num > limit ) {
this.checked = false;
}
});
});
</script> The form loads here https://yourebooked.com/mbc/book-session/

Hey Walter - is there a reason you can't use the "Limit Selections" option under the Checkboxes Options?

Ah yeah I forgot to mention this is a lookup field displayed as a checkbox. So that option isn’t available.

Nervermind easy fix. Changed to radio buttons.

Ha! I was going to ask, "Isn't a checkbox that's limited to one choice just a radio button?"

But now I need to figure out how to auto-select the radio button on page load for a particular radio button. Cant seem to find any good working jquery on google.

I'm usually pretty good at that stuff. On that page, if I issue $("#field_1f2ra-0").prop('checked', true); in the debugger, it selects the "Fall Swing" choice. Is that what you want to do?

Walter JonesWalter Jones replied 2 years ago

Hey Rob. If you click fall swing it brings up a date. Then you click the date it brings up a time. Then I have a 4 digit radio that’s shows up that I call the time key. I want it to be auto selected as it’s the only option. I plan on hiding that radio in production if I can get it to be pre selected.

Rob LeVineRob LeVine replied 2 years ago

Maybe I'm telling you something you already know, however, what I'd do for both the date and time is to get all the radio children from its container, count them, and if there's only one, select it.
