[jQuery] Re: Selecting Checkboxes inside the table

[Josh Nathanson]

Try this out:
$("#chkList input:checkbox").attr("checked",true);

This says: "get all input fields of type checkbox, within table id 
'chkList', and set attribute checked of those inputs to true."

You don't need to use the method "each" because jQuery will automatically 
iterate over the returned elements.

Subject: [jQuery] Selecting Checkboxes inside the table



I am having trouble to check the checkboxes contained inside the HTML
table.

Here is the table code:

<table id="chkList" border="0">
<tr>
<td><input id="chkList_0" type="checkbox" name="chkList$0" /><label
for="chkList_0">Item 1</label></td>
</tr><tr>
<td><input id="chkList_1" type="checkbox" name="chkList$1" /><label
for="chkList_1">Item 2</label></td>
</tr><tr>
<td><input id="chkList_2" type="checkbox" name="chkList$2" /><label
for="chkList_2">Item 3</label></td>
</tr>
</table>

I am using the following code to check all the checkboxes but it does
NOTHING!

 ($("#chkList").children({"input":"checkbox"}).each(function()
      {

           this.checked = true;
      }));
