Issue 136: Add "real" checkboxes support
Status:  WontFix
Owner: ----
Closed:  May 2014

What new or enhanced feature are you proposing?
The checkbox support should use real input fields with checkboxes:

a) it improves cross-compatibility UI - currently my normal checkboxes are
skinned by my OS and the dynatree checkboxes have a different look
b) better support in forms (no need to extra markup / hacks like
http://www.llakomy.com/articles/adding-dynatree-with-checkboxes-to-a-form
c) improved markup - current image and hover states are just a duplication
of an input tag that works well in HTML

Just my 2 cents :)

I don't thin it's easy to change or duplicate the current implemtation for real checkbox controls.
But I agree that we should support easy POSTing / submitting of selctable trees, when Dynatree is embedded into a form.

Hi,

Again, just my 2 cents :) I don't think this issue is duplicated and fixed by your new example.

I agree if it's not easy to do or you just don't want to do it, but just don't mark this as "fixed"... don't know the status available here but something like "Won't implement", "Rejected", something like that is more accurate :)

Anyway, when I need this feature again I'll think about implementing it and contributing the patch as I don't think it will be too hard to do (but am I just saying, didn't look at the source code)

regardless, keep up the good work

I see that you had other goals than submitting, so it's certainly not a duplicate. I've been a little too fast here ;-)
Don't think I will approach this in the near future, but if you or someone else comes up with a convincing patch, you're welcome.

Very important issue for all web developers. I hope to see "real" checkboxes in 1.3 release.

I tried to refactor de code to show real checkboxes but i have some headache to make it work totally.

I would like to know if someone is working on it or not. I might give it more times in the futur. In the meantime, here's a work in progress of what i've done.

As of 2014 Dynatree is feature frozen.
Please have a look at Fancytree (sequel of DynaTree 1.x): chances are good that the problem was resolved / the requested featuer is already implemented.
Please open a new issue there otherwise:
