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.
Anyway I apologize for saying your code did not work.

I have whipped up a demo page for u...
http://www.gmarwaha.com/jquery/jcarousellite/test/testCheckboxChecked.html

working in all 4 major browsers.

Yes that's true it does, but so does $('your_selector').attr('checked','hi
mom');
And try unselecting it.

I am not sure I follow. $('your_selector').attr('checked','checked'); does
set a checkbox to checked.

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
Mitch
