cancel checkbox change

montoyam

I am using inline editor as in this example:
https://editor.datatables.net/examples/api/checkbox.html

However, when a checkbox is initially checked, I am using a modal box to confirm the user really wants it un-checked. The code works as far as cancelling the editing of the record, but, the checkbox continues to be unchecked until the dataTable is refreshed. I tried e.preventDefault() but that doesn't seem to work.

any ideas??

        $('#SDPlus_BillableItems').on('change', 'input.editor-active', function (e) {
            var tr = $(this).closest('tr');
            var row = BillableItemsTable.row(tr);
            thisRow = this;
            selectedpkID = row.data().SDPlus_Worklogs.PK_ID;
            approvedBy = row.data().SDPlus_Approvals.ApprovedBy;
            if (approvedBy != null) {
                e.preventDefault();
                $('#alertModal').modal('show');  //only update if user confirms
                return false;
            } else {
                updateRow();
            }
        });

        $('#alertModal').on('click', '#modalButtonConfirm', function (e) {
            updateRow();
            $("#alertModal").modal("hide");
        });

        function updateRow() {
            /*
                the leftJoin on Approvals table assumes a record exists and does an update
                I added a preEdit on the controller to insert the record first

                if record already has a user name then they are un-checking the approved box
                    so tell the Controller to delete the record, not insert

            */
            d = new Date($.now());

            BillableItemsEditor
                .edit($(thisRow).closest('tr'), false)
                .set('SDPlus_Approvals.WorkLog_PK_ID', selectedpkID)
                .set('SDPlus_Approvals.ApprovedBy', (approvedBy == null) ? userName : 'delete')
                .set('SDPlus_Approvals.ApprovedDate', d)
                .submit()
                ;
        }

ahhh, nevermind...

I noticed I had

$('#SDPlus_BillableItems').on('change' ...

that is why .preventDefault() didn't work.

I changed it to .on('click' ... and everything appears to be working great.
