Question

I am using JQuery 1.6.1 and found that

 $("#theChk').attr("checked", ""); 

OR

$("#theChk").prop("checked", false);

none of this are working . Can some one find reason based on this http://blog.jquery.it/2011/05/10/jquery-1-6-1-rc-1-released/ ?

Do I have to change whole application for this change ??!!

Answer 1

You’re having " on the left side of selector and ' on the right side of selector

and use .attr

$("#theChk").attr("checked", false); 

to uncheck it, to check it use

$("#theChk").attr("checked", true);
