Show/hide content with matching checkboxes

 / Published in: jQuery
 

This function follows the following naming conventions: Give your checkboxes ID tags of "[contenttitle]trigger", where [contenttitle] is whatever you like. Then, give your hide-able content classes that match, without the "trigger". This function will look at the checkbox ID and checked state, and then show/hide the content with those classes accordingly.

So for example, you have a checkbox with the ID "content4trigger", and two divs with the class "content4". This will show and hide the divs based on the id of the checkbox.
