Disable mandatory checkbox with jQuery validator extension

Check out this test form I created here:

Here is the code for the checkboxes:

<div class="optIn">
    <div id="line1">
            <div class="checkbox"><input type="checkbox" checked="checked" value="true" name="MailingListOptIn"></div>
            <div>
                                    Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit.
            </div>
    </div>
    <div id="line2">
            <div class="checkbox"><input type="checkbox" tabindex="6" title="This is required." class="required" value="true" name="TermsOfService"></div>
            <div class=""><strong>I agree to the <a rel="tos_popup" name="tos" href="terms_of_service.html">Terms of Service</a>.</strong></div>
    </div>
</div>

The bottom checkbox is set as required, and if someone fails to check it, an error message will appear. However, after this, the checkbox becomes inactive. I am not sure what I did wrong. Could it be related to the CSS?

Thank you

Answer №1

The checkbox is still functional, but the error label appears on top of it. Let's make some adjustments to the layout...

The error lies within this section:

.optIn .error {
   /*
   left: 0;
   margin-left: -90px;
   margin-top: -12px;
   position: absolute;
   top: 16px;
   width: 200px;
   */
}

This particular code is causing issues. It needs to be removed or reworked! ;)

Remember! Avoid using absolute positioning unless it is absolutely necessary...
