Hi,
I have a "checklist" comprised of 8 checkboxes in a table, all with the class "checklist". I'm pulling the values from a database, and I want to highlight the containing TDs green for the checkboxes that are checked, and leave the rest alone. I can do this onclick: $(".checklist").click(function(){ ($(this)[0].checked) ? ($(this).parent().css("background","lightgreen")) : ($(this).parent().css("background","none")); }); But I can't seem to do it on document load (when it's pulled vals from the db). This doesn't do anything (nor does it produce a Firebug error): if ( $(".checklist").is(":checked") ) { ($(this)[0].checked) ? ($(this).parent().css("background","lightgreen")) : ($(this).parent().css("background","none")); } Advice?
