Hello david,
Thank you for your reply.
I've changed the if statement to .atrr('checked') like you mentioned.
I am having one problem though, when I click the box, it changes its
status back to default after executing the js. For example, I have an
alert within the if statement.. when I check it for example, it stays
checked just until I click ok on the alert then it goes back to
unchecked. Have any idea on what is happening?
