So I've been given html from a digital agency that I need to convert to MVC. I understand that the Html.CheckboxFor(..) creates an additional hidden input field to capture non selection of the checkbox as false. However on my page I can't select my checkbox. If I delete the <input type="hidden....> in Firebug I can select the checkbox. (As in I can't click on the checkbox and make it selected visually) The generated html is: (html provided to me) <div class="terms well"> <div class="checkbox"> <label class="checkbox-inline"> <input type="checkbox" id="authorize" name="authorize"> <span class="checkbox-display"><span class="checkbox-display-inner fa fa-check"></span></span> <span class="checkbox-label">I accept full responsibility for the information I provide on this form.</span> </label> </div> </div> (html generated by the html helper - I haven't bothered trying to use the label for as I'm not sure the styling will still work). <div class="terms well"> <div class="checkbox"> <label class="checkbox-inline"> <input type="checkbox" value="true" name="AuthorisePayment" id="AuthorisePayment"><input type="hidden" value="false" name="AuthorisePayment"> <span class="checkbox-display"><span class="checkbox-display-inner fa fa-check"></span></span> <span class="checkbox-label terms-credit" style="display: inline-block;">I accept full responsibility for information and authorisations I provide on this form.</span> </label> </div> </div> Anyone got any ideas? I'm not 100% what to include in this post to help find the answer. The razor view contains: <div class="terms well"> <div class="checkbox"> <label class="checkbox-inline"> @Html.CheckBoxFor(model => model.AuthorisePayment) <span class="checkbox-display"><span class="checkbox-display-inner fa fa-check"></span></span> <span class="checkbox-label terms-credit">@Editable(x => x.PaymentTemplate.CreditCardTerms)</span> </label> </div> </div> I could just get the value from the form in my action controller but I don't understand why the model binding way of doing it isn't working.
I suggest html generated by the html helper – it’s really bothered trying to use I'm sure the styling will have to work). Check your divs to ensure that nothing in the styling is overlaying the control.
