How can I add html on/off flip switch to jquery?

Question

I am trying to use html/css with my jquery, but can not get it to work. as of right now when I click on a div that matches the "vlabe" it will turn on or off depending on the state. however I am trying to use a html/css on/off switch from proto.io but i can not get it to work.

as of right now if i have <div id='light'></div> it will display "On" or "off" depending the state. I need to have it add/remove "checked" to <input type="checkbox" name="onoffswitch" class="onoffswitch-checkbox" id="" checked>

switchclick='';
    if (vdata == 'Off' ) {


    switchclick = 'onclick="SwitchToggle('+item.idx+', \'On\');"';
            vdata = 'Off';

    } else {



    switchclick = 'onclick="SwitchToggle('+item.idx+', \'Off\');"';
            vdata = 'On';
    }




 if( SwitchType == 'On/Off') {
// code to be executed if condition is true
$('#'+vlabel).html('<div '+switchclick+' >'+vdata+'</div>');

}

I hope I explained my self and what i am wanting to do, if not please let me know and not down vote me. I am trying. :)

Full script for reference.

    function RefreshData()
{
    clearInterval($.refreshTimer);

    var vdata=  item[vtype];        // current value




//For Dimmers, if a Dimmer is "off it shows off, If on it shows the percent with a %"
    if (item.Status == 'Off'){
        DimmerLVL = 'Off';

        DimmerLVL = (+item.Level+ '%');

Answer 1

So I did it the dirty way by adding

<div  class="onoffswitch"><input '+switchclick+' type="checkbox" name="onoffswitch" class="onoffswitch-checkbox" id="myonoffswitch" '+vdata+' ><label class="onoffswitch-label" for="myonoffswitch"><span class="onoffswitch-inner"></span><span class="onoffswitch-switch"></span>   </label></div>

to

$('#'+vlabel).html('');

the whole line of code looks like this

$('#'+vlabel).html('<div  class="onoffswitch"><input '+switchclick+' type="checkbox" name="onoffswitch" class="onoffswitch-checkbox" id="myonoffswitch" '+vdata+' ><label class="onoffswitch-label" for="myonoffswitch"><span class="onoffswitch-inner"></span><span class="onoffswitch-switch"></span>   </label></div>');

I know this is a dirty way to do this but it seems to work for now :(

Thanks to all who try to help :)

Does this work for you?

$('#light').on('click', function() {
  
  var state = $('#light').html();
  var $checkbox = $('.onoffswitch-checkbox');

  $('#light').html(state == 'Off' ? 'On' : 'Off');

  $checkbox.prop('checked', !$checkbox.prop('checked'));
})

#light {
  background-color: red;
}

<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>


The checkbox:
<input type="checkbox" name="onoffswitch" class="onoffswitch-checkbox" id="" checked>

<br>
<br>Click the red div, The switch is:
<div id="light">On</div>

I'm not entirely sure if i'm answering this correctly but from what I understand you want to remove the attribute checked? They have the documentation for that at http://api.jquery.com/prop/

For brevity:

Concerning boolean attributes, consider a DOM element defined by the HTML markup , and assume it is in a JavaScript variable named elem:

$( elem ).attr( "checked" ) (1.6.1+) "checked" (String) Will change with checkbox state
