How can I stop the accordion(collapsible) from closing when checkboxes are clicked

Question

I want users to be able to check the checkbox without closing the accordion body.

I have tried to stop propagation however, I was unable to get this to work.

I'm using the MaterializeCSS framework however, it doesn't provide any options to override this behavior.

body {
  margin: 0;
  padding: 0;
}

.collapsible-header {
  position: relative;
}

.test {
  position: absolute;
  right: 0;
}

      <span class="test">
        <input id="demo-2" name="demo-2" type="checkbox">
        <label for="demo-2"></label>
      </span>
    </div>
    <div class="collapsible-body"><span>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet.</span></div>
  </li>
  <li>
    <div class="collapsible-header"><i class="material-icons">whatshot</i>Third
      <span class="test">
        <input id="demo-3" name="demo-3" type="checkbox">
        <label for="demo-3"></label>
      </span>
    </div>
    <div class="collapsible-body"><span>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet.</span></div>
  </li>
</ul>

Any ideas?

Answer 1

That is simple: simply stop the click event from propagating from the input group (using event.stopPropagation), which has the class of test in your example:

$(function() {
  $('.collapsible .test').on('click', function(e) {
    e.stopPropagation();
  });
});

body {
  margin: 0;
  padding: 0;
}

.collapsible-header {
  position: relative;
}

.test {
  position: absolute;
  right: 0;
}
