asp.net checkbox and nested repeaters

Question

I have nested repeaters and checkbox in each row(like a tree view or ctaegory and items view). each check/uncheck the category should check/uncheck the items. any suggestions? Thanks,

I think it would be best done in JS - f.ex. jQuery. Then on each checkbox change - you could just do the same with it's children.. — ub1k

I had to do this before and I've done it with a simple JavaScript. Basically, when you bind you repeater, give the CategoryId to the checkbox's check event, e.g.

onchange="SelectCategory('<%# Eval("CategoryID") %>')"

have your child items wrapped around in a div with ID ending with CategoryId, e.g.

<div ID="divItems'<%# Eval("CategoryID") %>'">...</div>

this will allow you to find it in your SelectCategory(catId) function by doing

itemsDiv = document.GetElementById("divItems" + catId);

loop through its children and check your items:

var items = itemsDiv.getElementsByTagName('INPUT');
for (var i=0; i < items.length; i++) {
        if (collection[i].type.toUpperCase() == 'CHECKBOX')
            collection[i].checked = true; // or even "= CategoryCheckbox.checked"
    }

even better with jQuery:

$('#divItems' + catId).find(':checkbox').attr('checked', 'checked');

It should work fine with asp:CheckBox controls (server-side ones). The only thing to note is that client-side IDs of those controls may be different from what you expect. Do a View Source to see what I mean.
