Question

I have a jquery script that disables all checkboxes in a row and marks them as checked:

$(function() {
  enable_cb();
  $("#group1").click(enable_cb);
});

function enable_cb() {
  if (this.checked) {
     $("input.group1").attr("disabled", true);
     $("input.group1").attr("checked", true);
  } else {
     $("input.group1").removeAttr("disabled","checked");

  }
}

Here is my fiddle with the html: http://jsfiddle.net/3fksv/16/

I want the rest of the checkboxes to show active again, and unchecked on uncheck of the checkbox. What am I doing wrong in my script?

I don’t think that you can remove two attributes at once like that. You might have to use two calls to the removeAttr() function –

$("input.group1").removeAttr("disabled");
$("input.group1").removeAttr("checked");

As @nickf correctly mentioned, these commands can also be chained –

$("input.group1").removeAttr("disabled").removeAttr("checked");
