Jquery - Changing Background Color Upon Clicking Div


gsaldutti

Recommended Posts

I am using this code below to check/uncheck a checkbox that is inside a DIV, upon clicking anywhere on the DIV...

$("#checkbox").live('click', function(){
	 var $tc = $(this).find('input:checkbox:first'),
		 tv = $tc.attr('checked');

	 $tc.attr('checked', !tv);
 });

 

I now would like to also have the background color change upon clicking anywhere on the DIV. For example, if they click the DIV, the checkbox would become checked AND the background of the DIV would become green. Then if clicked again, the checkbox would become unchecked and the background would go back to white.

 

I got this far, and it does change the background to green upon clicking, but I can't figure out the part for "removing of background color". Any ideas who to accomplish that part?

 

$("#checkbox").live('click', function(){
 var $bg = $(this).css("background-color","green");
	 var $tc = $(this).find('input:checkbox:first'),
		 tv = $tc.attr('checked');

	 $tc.attr('checked', !tv);
 });

Here's a quickly thrown together way.

You just add a checkbox inside a div with the class "check" and it will do it. I showed with 5 just to show you can have a bunch of'em.
