Do you need to change an option into a button instead?
Decide whether to include it on the list or not
var options = [];
$( '.dropdown-menu a' ).on( 'click', function( event ) {
var $target = $( event.currentTarget ),
val = $target.attr( 'data-value' ),
$inp = $target.find( 'input' ),
idx;
if ( ( idx = options.indexOf( val ) ) > -1 ) {
options.splice( idx, 1 );
setTimeout( function() { $inp.prop( 'checked', false ) }, 0);
} else {
options.push( val );
setTimeout( function() { $inp.prop( 'checked', true ) }, 0);
}
$( event.target ).blur();
console.log( options );
return false;
});
