Radio/CheckBox event listener onClick fires twice on label

[stiptkevin]

Hey guys,

I have a few Radio and Checkboxes, got a onClick event listener on them.
When i click on the radio or CheckBox itself, it works perfect.
Ben when i press on the label the event fires twice? That really messes up my program.

Anyone knows about this? How can I prevent this from happening?
Tried changing to onChange, then nothing happens at all. And with onBlur it fires alot of events with a delay.

Hopefully anyone got a solution.
Thanks, Kevin

This is actually by design by the browser. Clicking the label fires a second click event on the radio so it checks automatically. As both bubble up, you can catch them both.

Simple check the target, and if the target was the label, do nothing.

I feel stupid to ask, but can you give me a small example code?
Tried a few checks but it doesn't work, google aint helping either.

Here is a part of my code.
There are all CheckBoxes in the answerVector

for(index=0; index<answerVector.size();index++)
{
answerVector.get(index).addListener(Events.OnClick, new Listener<FieldEvent>(){
 
@Override
public void handleEvent(FieldEvent be) {
//Target check here be.getTarget() equals or == what?
.
.
.

Made a be.getTarget() == answerVector.get(index)
But it says it cant compare a Element to a CheckBox.

Thanks, Kevin

answerVector.get(index).addListener(Events.OnClick, new Listener<FieldEvent>(){
 
@Override public void handleEvent(FieldEvent be) { 

if(be.getTarget().getTagName().equalsIgnoreCase("label")){
return;
}

untested code. This should only give you a hint how to use it.

Works like a charm!
Thank you.

Brilliant - I was dealing with the same issue.

I know this has been a very long time since there was an update to this thread. But is it possible to let me know if this issue can be seen in all browser and versions or just specific? I've tried clicking on the label but it doesn't seem to fire a second click event. However sometimes(very rarely) it does seem to happen. Which is why i was curious to know if this browser(version) specific.
