To determine if a checkbox is checked, i would use if(

To check a checkbox, $(checkbox).attr(checked, checked);
Both are untested, but let me know how it goes

$('your_selector').removeAttr('checked') will also work, which personally
seems more intuitive to me.

This, indeed seems more correct, as the w3c states:
A switch is on when the control element's checked attribute is
set...
They don't specify set to _what_. (This is a I'd rather unset the
attribute than set it to 'false'. This is the method recommended by
David Flanagan in his a href=http://safari.oreilly.com/

[jQuery] Re: Turning a checkbox on and off
Thanks for that demo. I see the problem now. When you first stated the idea
you presented this to me
I missed the : in the $(#check1).is(:checked) part. That is critical.
Its one of those things I am not familiar with that makes me so poor at JQ.
