Simpler way of showing, hiding & disabling elements I'm currently having this code &amp; looking for a simpler and shorter way of showing, hiding &amp; disabling my elements...

$("#chReportData").click(function(){
            if($(this)[0].checked){
                $("#reportDataOptions").show();
            } else {
                $("#ReportDataStatusOptions").hide();
                $("#reportDataOptions").hide();
                $('#chkReportPermission').attr('checked', false);
                $('#chReportDataStatus').attr('checked', false);
                $('#chReportDataCummulative').attr('checked', false);
                $('.allowedUpload').attr('checked', false);
                $('.allowedDelete').attr('checked', false);
            }
        });

        $("#chReportDataStatus").click(function() {
            if ($(this)[0].checked) {
                $("#ReportDataStatusOptions").show();
            } else if ($('#chReportDataCummulative').is('checked')) {
                $("#ReportDataStatusOptions").hide();
                $('.allowedUpload').attr('checked', false);
                $('.allowedDelete').attr('checked', false);
            } else { 
                $("#ReportDataStatusOptions").hide();
                $('.allowedUpload').attr('checked', false);
                $('.allowedDelete').attr('checked', false);
            }
        });


It works fine, I'm just looking for a simpler way... If you know of a shorter &amp; simpler way, please share...

Added HTML...

&lt;label class="typ3"&gt;Report Data:&lt;/label&gt;&lt;asp:CheckBox ID="chReportData" runat="server" CssClass="floatL shad1 trans1" ClientIDMode="Static"/&gt;&lt;br class="floatClear" /&gt;
                &lt;span id="reportDataOptions" style="display: none;"&gt;
                    &lt;label class="typ3"&gt;Report Management:&lt;/label&gt;&lt;asp:CheckBox ID="chkReportPermission" runat="server" CssClass="floatL shad1 trans1" ClientIDMode="Static"/&gt;&lt;br class="floatClear" /&gt;
                    &lt;asp:RadioButton ID="chReportDataStatus" runat="server" ClientIDMode="Static" CssClass="floatL shad1 trans1" GroupName="reportData" Text="Report Type: Status" TextAlign="Left"/&gt;&lt;br class="floatClear" /&gt;
                    &lt;asp:RadioButton ID="chReportDataCummulative" runat="server" ClientIDMode="Static" CssClass="floatL shad1 trans1" GroupName="reportData" Text="Report Type: Cummulative" TextAlign="Left"/&gt;&lt;br class="floatClear" /&gt;
                &lt;/span&gt;

                &lt;span id="ReportDataStatusOptions" style="display: none;"&gt;
                    &lt;label class="typ3"&gt;Upload Files&lt;/label&gt; &lt;asp:CheckBox ID="chkAllowedUpload" runat="server" CssClass="floatL shad1 trans1" class="allowUpload"/&gt;&lt;br 
                           class="floatClear"/&gt;
                    &lt;label class="typ3"&gt;Delete Files&lt;/label&gt; &lt;asp:CheckBox ID="chkAllowedDelete" runat="server" CssClass="floatL shad1 trans1" class ="allowDelete"/&gt;&lt;br 
                           class="floatClear"/&gt;
                &lt;/span&gt;
Edit: now that you have shared your html I could make a better response ...     http://jsfiddle.net/EjBW7/2/

There is a lot of repeated code, you could write some functions to avoid repeating the code, the branches in the second block seem redundant. You could use jquery's ability to target multiple elements in one selector.

setCheckboxValue = function (selector, enable)
{
    return $(selector).attr('checked', enable);
}

$("#chReportData").click(function(){

 if($("#chReportData").is(':checked') ){
      console.log('#chReportData show');
     $("#reportDataOptions").show();
 } else {
     console.log('#chReportData hide');

     $("#ReportDataStatusOptions, #reportDataOptions").hide();
     setCheckboxValue('#chkReportPermission, #chReportDataStatus, #chReportDataCummulative, .allowedUpload, .allowedDelete', false);
 }
});

$("#chReportDataStatus,#chReportDataCummulative").click(function() {
  if ($("#chReportDataStatus").is(':checked') ) {
       console.log('#ReportDataStatusOptions show');
    $("#ReportDataStatusOptions").show();
 } else { 
     console.log('#ReportDataStatusOptions hide');
    $("#ReportDataStatusOptions").hide();
    setCheckboxValue('.allowedUpload, .allowedDelete', false);
 }
});
