iCheck doesn't work ( strange behavior )

Question

I want to use iCheck library: https://github.com/fronteed/iCheck http://fronteed.com/iCheck/

When i init the element with the library it get warped like the documentation describe https://github.com/fronteed/iCheck/#how-it-works but with opacity zero.

You can see it here: http://jsfiddle.net/buRq7/8/

$(".ex-f").iCheck();

somebody have the same issue?

Thanks

My code is:

$(".ex-f").iCheck();

And

<div class="my-checkbox">
    <input class="ex-f" id="Finish" name="Finish" type="checkbox" value="1"> doesn't work
</div>

And

.my-checkbox {
    border: 1px solid blue;
    height: 20px;
}
.ex-f {
    border: 1px solid red;
}

Solution 1

I found that the problem was with the CSS file, if it is not loaded the component is not showed, a working example:

http://jsfiddle.net/SUTMf/1/

$(document).ready(function(){ $('input').iCheck({ checkboxClass: 'icheckbox_flat-blue', radioClass: 'iradio_square', increaseArea: '20%' // optional }); });

Solution 2

today i encountered this problem. and the same problem.

but finally solved. and the reason is:

my local golobal variable name is "_type" which maybe the keyword in iCheck or somethin' else .

when i have iCheck in my Html, i found that _type is already used as the picture showed

wish could help u and the others.
