Checkbox related changes not working inside a button

JavaScript
1

I have the following piece of code and I don’t see it executing when I check or uncheck a checkbox. Any reason what I’m doing wrong here?

Here is the JSFiddle showing the same:

$("#update_counter_checkbox").change(function() {
    if ($(this).prop("checked")) {
      // If the checkbox is checked, disable the button
      alert("Checked");
      console.log("checkbox checked");
      $("#dialog-confirm").dialog("widget").find(".ui-button:contains('Login next suggested value " + additionalValue + "')").button("disable");
    } else {
       alert("Not Checked");
      console.log("checkbox NOT checked");
      // If the checkbox is unchecked, enable the button
      $("#dialog-confirm").dialog("widget").find(".ui-button:contains('Login next suggested value " + additionalValue + "')").button("enable");
    }
  });

You’ve got that code inside the “Login case number of your choice” block, which doesn’t seem right.

Yeah, I had to take it out and it is working now. Had to use a boolean value inside the button to figure out the nature of checkbox related operation done from outside.

Logically, that’s more accurate.

You can’t really have action checks on two separate items at the same time. So you can do a “checked” query of an element, but you can’t have an eventlistener added inside another one.
