Can I select only one checkbox out of multiple checkboxes using jquery?

I need to allow the user to check only one checkbox out of mor开发者_JAVA技巧e than five checkboxes. The checkboxes are having the same name and different values. I need to store these values and retrieve from database. Does Jquery support this feature? I am a newbie...

Better to use radio buttons in this case. They are meant to serve this purpose. Selecting only an item from this case.

If checkbox is a strict requirement then you can do this with jQuery. You have to unselect all the checboxes first and then check the one which is clicked.

use radiobuttons.

When you dont wont radio buttons here is a jquery solution:

var checkboxes = $(':checkbox.myCheckboxGroup');
checkboxes.click(function(){
  var self = this;
  checkboxes.each(function(){
    if(this!=self) this.checked = ''
  })
})
