I thought the same about checking a checkbox but "checked" is not the right
value, you have to use true and false.
So like this:
On
$(checkbox).attr("checked", true);
Off
$(checkbox).attr("checked", false);
I have no idea why you cant do $(checkbox).attr("checked", "checked");
This also won't work
if( $(checkbox).is(":checked") ) { alert("checked"); }

To determine if a checkbox is checked, i would use if(
$(checkbox).is(":checked") ) { alert("checked"); }
To check a checkbox, $(checkbox).attr("checked", "checked");
Both are untested, but let me know how it goes

How do you check and uncheck a checkbox from jQuery?
And how do you determine if a checkbox has been checked or unchecked?
I tried attr and css and none of them worked.
Thanks
