Cannot check a checkbox

jimnicholson — Tue, 08 Nov 2016 17:58:03 GMT

Hi All,

New to the widget creation and service portal, hoping you could help me out here.

I have a list that shows a bunch of options and descriptions from a table we created in ServiceNow. I added a check box, and I cannot check the check box at all. Any idea why I wouldn't be able to select anything?

here is the html involved.

<div class= "panel panel-default">
 <div class="panel-heading">
     Mobile Device Options
   </div>
   <div class="list-group">
       <a class="list-group-item" ng-repeat="mobile in c.data.mobileOptions">
           <input class="pull-left" type="checkbox"}>
           <div class= "m-l-lg">
               <b class="text-primary">{{mobile.option}}</b><br>
                   {{mobile.notes}}
             
           </div>
       </a>
   </div>
   <div ng-if="c.data.mobileOptions.length == 0" class="b-t wrapper text-center">No Options</div>
</div>

Hi Jim,
It looks as though this line: ( <input class="pull-left" type="checkbox"}> ) has an extra "}" in it. I just tested and that was your issue, since you said you are new to portal here is nice library to help out with some missing pieces : GitHub - service-portal/documentation: Here you will find unofficial documentation for the ServiceNow Service Portal tec…

Thank you for the documentation, it's very odd, I removed the extra } and it's still not allowing me to select anything. Not sure what's going on but I'll look through your link you provided as well.

Hmm interesting Jim. Here is link showing that my inputs are working: Imgur and here is an image of what my code looks like:

I would make sure that you have placed the widget that you are editing into the correct page that you are viewing. I know that has confused me before.

Best,
Phil E.
