Twitter Bootstrap 3 collapse when checkbox checked

Question 1

UPDATE : There is a Better Answer Below ... Here -> *

JS (Fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/h44PJ/):

$('.collapse').collapse();

// Don't collapse on checkbox click
$('.panel-heading h4 a input[type=checkbox]').on('click', function(e) {
    e.stopPropagation();
});

// Cancel show event if not checked
$('#collapseOne').on('show.bs.collapse', function(e) {
    if(!$('.panel-heading h4 a input[type=checkbox]').is(':checked'))
    {
        return false;
    }
});

UPDATE (Fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/h44PJ/567/):

$('.collapse').collapse();

$('.panel-heading h4 a input[type=checkbox]').on('click', function(e) {
    e.stopPropagation();
    $(this).parent().trigger('click');   // <---  HERE
});

$('#collapseOne').on('show.bs.collapse', function(e) {
    if(!$('.panel-heading h4 a input[type=checkbox]').is(':checked'))
    {
        return false;
    }
});

Question 2

Here's my solution, works by adding a label wrapper to the checkbox instead of a hyperlink:

<div class="checkbox">
    <label data-toggle="collapse" data-target="#collapseOne">
        <input type="checkbox"/> I have Driver License  
    </label>
</div>

Question 3

You don't even need to initialize .collapse. Just change your header to:

<h4 class="panel-title">
  <input type="checkbox" value="" data-toggle="collapse" data-target="#collapseOne" /> I have Driver License	
</h4>

Question 4

Look at it. I did it and works fine.

<script> 
        $(function () {

            if($('#id_checkbox').prop('checked'))
            {
                $('#id_collapse').collapse();
            }
        });

</script>

Question 5

I developed a fancy checkbox toggle for collapse of accordion content.

<h4 class="panel-title">
    <label data-toggle="collapse" data-target="#collapseOne" class="control-toggle">
        <input type="checkbox" />
        <div class="toggle-button"></div>
    </label>
    I have Driver License   
</h4>

Hope you guys like it :-)

Question 6

I was facing the same problem and I've found the answer on this video: http://www.lynda.com/Bootstrap-tutorials/Adding-check-box-using-collapse-enhance-usability/161098/176537-4.html I hope it helps! I'm using it now to collapse a full div below a checkbox, very simple. The only problem is if you double click it fast it gets messed, but it usually doesnt happen.

Question 7

I know it is an old question but I had some troubles with Firefox and Reloading pages which would leave the checkbox checked and the content hidden - not a good user experience.

IMO it is the easiest to simply add/remove the class for hiding/showing content depending on the status of the checkbox.

Here is my example code for this


$(document).ready(function()
{
    $('input[type=checkbox][data-toggle^=toggle]').on('change',
          function (e) {
                let checkbox = $(this);
                let target=$(checkbox.data('target'));
                if (checkbox.is(":checked")) {
                    target.addClass("show");
                    target.addClass("in");
                } else {
                    target.removeClass("show");
                    target.removeClass("in");
                }
            }
    );
    /* Make sure the state is correct - especially after Pressing F5 */
    $('input[type=checkbox][data-toggle^=toggle]').each(
        function (index, elem) {
                let checkbox = $(this);
                let target=$(checkbox.data('target'));
                if (checkbox.is(":checked")) {
                    target.addClass("show");
                    target.addClass("in");
                } else {
                    target.removeClass("show");
                    target.removeClass("in");
                }
        }
    )
});

As you can see you have to simply add the data-toggle=toggle and the data-target element to your input like this:

<input id="license" type="checkbox" data-toggle="toggle" data-target="#collapseOne"><label for="license">I have Driver License</label>

An example can be found here: https://jsfiddle.net/Kound/z95cLt86/8/

The code works for bootstrap 3 (.in) and bootstrap 4 (.show). Adopt it to your needs.

PS: The code also works in combination with https://github.com/gitbrent/bootstrap4-toggle/

Question 8

<input type="checkbox" data-toggle="collapse" data-target="#demo" uncheck/>I have Driver License
<div id="demo" class="collapse">
<label>What you want collapse</label>
</div>
