Search/submit form automatically on checkbox click

Garabedium 1 Oct 2013 17:00 question, complete

Low Search newbie here. I have a basic category search going on a landing page, and everything works beautifully. I'm able to search a channel by multiple categories using checkboxes.

Is there any way to have the form automatically search when clicking on a checkbox (so you wouldn't have to click the actual search button)? Would I use :filters instead of :form?

   Well, you could always use JavaScript to submit the form when a checkbox is clicked/changed. Something like this:
   
   

   $(function(){ 
      $('#sidebar-category-search :checkbox').change(function(){ 
        $('#sidebar-category-search').submit(); 
      }); 
    });
